= (a.k.a. Francis Blake, Jr. (1995). From its beginning, the United States of
America’s policy toward the indigenous people of this continent has been
genocide ...
Abstract: From its beginning, the United States of America’s policy toward the
indigenous people of this continent has been genocide.After the U.S. Senate finally passed the
United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide,
then-Senator Proxmire of Wisconsin wrote me a letter advising that the
provisions of this so-called International Law (which is European Law) were
“not retroactive,” although even under the imported laws of every State, there
is no statute of limitations on murder—and genocide (and ethnic cleansing) are
murder on a mass scale, as well as being human rights violations.
The founding documents of the U.S.A.—both the Declaration of Independence and
the U.S. Constitution—mention “Indians.”This is an open admission of genocide: the European immigrants did not
and still do not speak of the real identities of the aboriginal people here; in
order to pursue their mythology of “Manifest Destiny,” they needed a generic
term which referred to both the indigenous people and to the mixed-blood people
under their control, and so they used the artificial European identity of
“Indians.”In the late 1800’s, United
States policy-makers changed from openly murdering indigenous people (including
paying a bounty on “Indian scalps”) to passing compulsory-education laws and
institutionalizing boarding schools designed to transform Aboriginal Indigenous
people into “Indians”—which is also a violation of the U.N. Genocide
conventions.But, through the magic of
Crooked English and other greedy Romanized thinking, killing “Indians”—although
it’s a human rights violation—is not genocide, because “Indians” have a White
patriline and are not a separate people.
In the early 1970’s, I worked with several political-action groups including
the Jewish Defense League and the paper-tiger American Indian Movement, to get
justice—or at least an admission of genocide—from the United States in the
World Court.When the Jewish groups
found out that I was both serious and an Aboriginal Indigenous person, they
dropped me like a hot potato.There is
a big, big difference between the deplorable human rights involved in killing
communities and families of people with European patrilines, and the genocide
of destroying Aboriginal Indigenous people, Dodems and communities, who do not
have European patrilines.The United
Nations Genocide Convention does not have any teeth because none of the
Romanized Western European Nations, including the United States, want to deal
with, or face the consequences of the genocide and ecocide of Aboriginal
Indigenous people, which is still going on and is still enriching them.They want to deny their past and create a
new mythology and “new” (old European class-system) identities here.The Europeans who became “Americans” ran
away from the institutionalized poverty and all the other problems of
Europe—but because of their language, they brought their old Romanized social
pathologies with them.
By the late 1970’s, United States policy-makers figured that the few, and I
mean very few, Aboriginal Indigenous people who survived in the Indian and
White onslaught, had all been successfully transformed into “civilized
Indians.”In 1978, the U.S. Congress
passed the Indian Child Welfare Act, described by the Minneapolis Star
Tribune as giving “tribes extraordinary control over the adoptions of their
members.”The Indian Child Welfare Act
is one of several pieces of fraudulent legislation which are touted as giving
Indians the “sovereignty” to “restore Indian tradition,” which is a pipe dream
and an illusion.How can the Indians
regain Aboriginal Indigenous traditions which they never had—the “Indian
tribes” smugly and one-sidedly promoted by linear-thinking writers at the Strib
are a statutory invention of the U.S. Congress; and the Indians are
patrilineally White people who have been used for centuries to sell Aboriginal
peoples’ land, destroy Aboriginal peoples’ subsistence, and otherwise act in
complicity with their paternal White relatives in the genocide of the
Aboriginal Indigenous people, including obscuring the ongoing genocide by
acting as a broker and a cover in such violations of the Genocide Convention as
the adopting-out of Aboriginal children under the Indian Child Welfare
Act.The U.S. Congress (and the United
Nations) were acting under Roman Law and their heritage of Roman Imperial
thinking which justifies the exploitation of all people but their own
elite.They are using their Indians,
who are trapped in an artificial identity which makes them scapegoats and
political hockey-pucks, to keep their lily-White hands clean in their
fraudulent claim to this bloodied land.
The abusive character of the immigrants’ Roman Law and Imperial thinking is
obvious from the violent slums of the American cities, from the destruction of
the ecosystem which indigenous people kept in balance and harmony, from the
pollution of the water and their institutionalized exploitation of people.Politicians and P-R men speak poetically of
justice and exude endless speeches of fine flowery words dripping with honey;
in reality they are snake-oil salesman obscuring the truth of the human rights violations
they continue to perpetrate on everybody else.The people who are exploiting need to become human beings, as well as
the people who are disenfranchised.The
medieval thinking which the White leaders imported from Europe needs to
change—this is a different land than Europe, and European Capitalism, European
Feudalism, Constitutional Monarchy, Judeo-Christianity, Communism, Democracy,
Imperialism, Socialism, Indian Law, Manifest Destiny and other pseudo-legalized
theft, etc., etc. are all alien con-jobs and rip-off philosophies which do not
belong on this land.The Indian Child
Welfare Act is just another one of that greedy old crook Uncle Sam’s many
schemes and cover-ups.MORE COVER-UPS: In 1972, Richard “I am not a Crook” Nixon created the
Environmental Protection Agency (E.P.A.), which was Orwellian legislation
designed to protect the corporate structure which was polluting the
environment.The E.P.A. bureaucrats are
tenured on pork-barrel legislation, slopping at the public trough and pigging
out on corporate kickbacks (the Bureau of Indian Affairs is the same kind of
“public lands” bureaucracy).The
publicly proclaimed Environmental Protection Acts are not enforced: the big
corporations may have a token slap-on-the-wrist fine levied against them by
courts which they own (under their imported Roman Law), but continue their
filthy business as usual.The public is
told “you have an agency to protect the environment,” but in actuality the
resources are being strip-mined, the ecosystem is being demolished, millions of
tons of toxic chemicals are dumped into the environment, people are crippled by
industrial waste, and more children are born deformed every year (the blame is
diverted by the abstract scientific term “recessive gene”).Under E.P.A. “protection,” the environment
is so degraded that the government tells you not to eat the
mercury-contaminated fish—why buy a fishing license just to catch-and-release?
The reality of Roman Law is anarchy and lawlessness at the top of the
hierarchy—eighteen amendments were recently added to the Environmental
Protection Act to give the Good Ol’ Boys further latitude in polluting and
destroying the environment.The U.S.
Congress, in passing legislation to “protect the public,” is like a cat playing
with a mouse (or the fox guarding a chicken coop): what they write looks good
in the press releases as parroted by a well groomed television anchorman—some
of what these puppets say sounds like they were effectively indoctrinated by
the C.I.A. or the K.G.B., although it’s called “schooled in good
journalism.”Now that Disney has moved
in and taken over A.B.C. (Americans Before Columbus), expect that the news will
be more animated, and have an even faster spin in Fantasyland.Under Affirmative Action, will Pocohantas as
co-anchor balance the color scheme and decor?
Under immigrant Roman Law, the Ten Commandments are not enforced, either—where
do you go to get action?Maybe you have
to go to Hell.

In the Metro Section of the Thursday, February 15 Star Tribune, there
was an article headlined “Heritage of Indian firefighters questioned.”According to the article, Leonard Thompson,
leader of the American Indian Fire Fighters Association, charged that “as many
as half of the 24 people claiming to be Indians in the Minneapolis Fire
Department either are not legitimate Indians or cannot prove that they are
[Indians].”
There are several issues at stake in the Wanna-Be fire fighter fracas:
discriminatory hiring in the fire fighting department, who owns and controls
the Indian identity, and exactly what is an “Indian.”The Strib quotes Thompson as saying that undocumented and
self-proclaimed Indians are “taking our jobs;” according to the article,
firefighter Thompson wants all those who were preferentially hired as Indians
in the past to meet current documentation standards for being “Indian:” either
through the U.S. Department of the Interior or its Indian Reorganization Act
tribal councils; or by showing that “either a parent or grandparent is an
enrolled tribal member.”This sounds
good, but there are “Indians” on the White Earth enrollments, for example, with
1/32 or less “Indian Blood,” so city-sanctioned discrimination in hiring can be
based on as little as 1/128 “Indian blood”—one great-great-great-great-great
grandparent, born about two hundred years ago, who is now “federally
recognized” as having been an Indian.For all of the disputed Indians to qualify under present standards, this
well-publicized fuss adds up to less than 10% of one “full-blooded Indian,” and
eleven (and nine-tenths) Black or White guys.
The real irony is that “Indian blood” does not have any genealogical
correlation to having ancestors who are indigenous to this land.During the second half of the nineteenth
century, Federal designation as an “Indian” was a purely political process—and
it still is.Some U.S. Department of
Interior regulations explicitly directed recording the ethnicity of certain
white men as “half breed” (or other blood quantum) Indians.For example, Bazile Hudon Beaulieu, born
1815-16 and the patrilineal ancestor of the Indian who is presently director of
the Minnesota Human Rights Department, was changed from a White man into “3/8
Indian” for the purposes of determining Minnesota Chippewa blood quantum, so
that his descendants could sell land and participate in U.S.-supervised “tribal
politics” ultimately intended to alienate the Aboriginal Indigenous peoples’
property and resources.In the process
of researching a book, I have documented the genealogy of more than 50,000
so-called Chippewa Indians in Northern Minnesota.Less than two hundred have an Ahnishinahbæótjibway
Dodem—an Aboriginal Indigenous patriline and extended family; the rest have
an immigrant European or African Moorish patriline and a culture based on
nuclear families and fragmented French feudal social structures.
In order to receive federal funding, preferential hiring, grants for pow-wows,
recognition as Indian Chiefs or artists, etc., Indians are dependent on White
institutions to “authenticate” their identity.This is but a continuation of the Euro-Americans’ long and cozy relationship
with their manufactured Métis and White Indians, beginning with Columbus,
continuing through the treaty era (when European and Mediterranean people
identified as “Indians” ceded lands which were not theirs), to the I.R.A.
Tribal Councils’ Reservation and Indian gaming politics of today.
The policy of the Republican party, which the Eisenhower administration
executed on a tribal level, was the termination of the Indians.United States policy and American culture
have been directed toward making Indians into the Vanishing American since the
Dawes Allotment Act of 1878 (as a part of Manifest Destiny); depriving people
identified as “Indians” of land ownership and civil rights has been part of the
American agenda since the United States Constitution described “Indians not
taxed,” a Jim Crow category which so-called Indian leaders cling to as the
basis of the apartheid and illusory “Indian Sovereignty” (both Whites and
Indians get upset at the idea of amending this racist clause out of the
Constitution and thereby creating a more level playing field and making
affirmative action superfluous for protected-class Indians).
U.S. Congressional policy papers still carefully detail the legal foundations
for terminating the Indians at any time.The problem with termination was not that Indians would lose their
identity, but that political-spoils jobs would cease to exist for the Party
faithful and political hacks—terminating the Indians hurts the Whites worse
than it hurts the Indians, most of whom have a preponderance of White ancestry
(almost all the rest could assimilate into the Black community and nobody would
notice).
The real issue isn’t job discrimination or job creation, though—it’s the White
man’s guilt at having committed genocide of the Aboriginal Indigenous people on
a massive scale, and having despoiled this entire continent.As a community, as a culture and as a
cohesive people, we the Aboriginal Indigenous people are extinct: intentionally
destroyed by explicit U.S. Government policies including the Indian boarding
schools.The Indians’ main purpose is
as pretenders and imitations, “reel” Hollywood style Indians who are a living
portrayal of the Euro-Americans’ mythology, projections, and stereotypes.Instead of wasting time and valuable
resources playing games with minimal potential benefits, the Minneapolis
firefighters and police could be lobbying for a Constitutional amendment to
eliminate the built-in discrimination of “Indians not taxed,” and start
protecting their own property as well as that of the people they serve.
Why not accept one’s real identity, and begin to address the root problems that
plague the immigrants’ Euro-American society: violence, the destruction of the
ecosystem and the extended families, water pollution, and the dehumanization of
Euro-American culture, based on the nuclear family.This is reality, and sooner or later you immigrants won’t be able
to run from your past—you’ll have to face it.Wub-e-ke-niewBear

= (a.k.a. Francis Blake, Jr. (1993). Indians have always accused the Whites of
racism, using racism as a bludgeon of guilt ...
Abstract: Indians have always accused the Whites of racism, using racism as a
bludgeon of guilt to keep Whites from looking at who the Indians really
are.These accusations of racism keep
people separated and polarized, rather than talking to each other and solving
the problems.Indians’ complaints of
racism are also used as an excuse to justify their failures caused by living out
the Indian stereotype.What the Indians
are complaining about is not racism, although there is discrimination.
The Indians should look in the mirror before they say a word about racism.It’s always been the Indians and the Whites,
who have been racist towards the Aboriginal Indigenous People.Racism is there so that the average person
will not see the social and genetic engineering that is being done to American
society.Racism prevents dialogue,
discussions, and having people from all backgrounds get together to make this a
better world.Racism works to the
advantage of the policy-makers at the top of the social hierarchy—that’s why
it’s there.Simply going by the identity
of Chippewa Indian is racist.To call
the Anishinabe Ojibway, “Chippewa Indians,” is racist and apartheid.
An example of the White and Indians’ racism is the environmental destruction of
the Anishinabe Ojibway homeland, by the Indians.If this was Indian land, the Indians wouldn’t be destroying it.
There is not one issue that the Indians can get together on, in
solidarity.Their identity is one
manufactured by outsiders, and it’s pretty hard to live out a stereotype and a
projection.The only issue that there
isn’t any division in the Indian community about, is destruction of the
environment—they’ve gotten together on stealing and destroying the Aboriginal
Indigenous Peoples’ land.The Indian
identity perpetuates and promotes racism.The time has come for the people who call themselves “Indians” to be
honest about who they are.BOARDING SCHOOLS: On Sunday, August 29, 1993, the Bemidji Pioneer
ran a quarter-page ad promoting Wahpeton Indian School, which according to the
ad is “Honoring Old Traditions.”Which
old traditions?The racism, and the
violent abuse which characterized the Indian Boarding Schools for three
generations—are these the old traditions that Wahpeton wants to honor?
When I was in boarding school, it was U.S. Government policy to beat young
children for speaking our own language. I couldn’t mention my grandfather’s
name without getting whipped with a strap.Now, the ad says that the Wahpeton Indian school wants to teach “Whole
language” and “Native language,” as well as “Singing.”At Wahpeton, they’re not teaching the
Anishinabe Ojibway language; they are going to teach the pidgin language of
Chip-away Creole, which is a bastard language made up from stolen words.Rather than being an egalitarian Aboriginal
Indigenous language, Chippewa is an hierarchical Indo-European language.Why waste valuable educational time teaching
nonsense?Why not teach these children
English, so that they have a language to defend themselves from United States
Government crooks?
The curriculum at Wahpeton includes Home Economics, Arts and Crafts, and
Industrial Arts.It is not advertised
as including History, Chemistry and Science.If the children attending Wahpeton are the élite of the Indians’ future
generations, then it looks like the future of these children is termination and
abrogation of the crooked Treaties.It
looks like Wahpeton Indian School is still trying to hide the genocide (in
which this school played a part), and the grand theft of the land.
The ad says that Wahpeton Indian School will be “Teaching Indian Values,”
including “Honesty.”The very name
Indian is dishonest, an identity which perpetuates the lie that European people
with European values, called “Indians,” are the Aboriginal Indigenous People of
this land.Indians don’t have
Aboriginal Indigenous values.To see
what Indian Values really are, all you have to do is step out your front door
and look at the terrible destruction of the ecosystem done by Indians.All you have to do is look at the “Indian
Communities,” which are filled with crime, alcohol, and violence.Indian values are reflected in the corruption
and racism in Indian Organizations such as Tribal Government, the Indian Health
Board, etc.These conditions reflect
Indian values, and, my friend, Indian values are no different than European
values.Indian values are not the
values of the Aboriginal Indigenous People.TREATIES: At the Treaties, there were some honest White men, who said,
“these Treaties will come back to haunt us.”These men knew that the Indian Treaties made by the United States
Government were fraudulent and fake, and that the Indians who signed the
Treaties were not the Aboriginal Indigenous People who own the land.If the people in this country want to call
it, “The Land of the Free,” then they have to come to terms with the genocide
and grand land theft that was committed here.Americans can no longer hide behind their brokers, the Indians.RETROACTIVE TAXES: Your
President is talking about balancing the budget with retroactive taxes.Under the Clinton tax plan, taxes will go
back retroactively to January.I wonder
if the legal basis for retroactivity also applies to the presidential
elections?Does the legal philosophy
that Clinton is using mean that he can be recalled—retroactively?I don’t see why the leaders who raided the
U.S. Treasury shouldn’t be the ones who are paying for the deficit.Reagan’s cronies in the Savings and Loan
industry, Bob Dole’s friends—these are the people who should pay retroactive
restitution to the U.S. Treasury, with interest.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

Abstract: The Minneapolis Star Tribune has turned over a new page, and

section, they’ve gone from bashing stereotypical Indians, to being politically

Indians, at least as ** But, this doesn’t mean that in the other sections of
the paper, they aren’t still using Indians a political football.Now, Clyde Bellecourt and his crew of
Wanna-Be’s don’t have to demonstrate against the Washington Redskins, and the
Washington team doesn’t have to change their name, either.They can keep on doing the Tomahawk Chop,
too, because the sports apologized.If
they’re worried about ethnic slurs and racist mascots, why don’t they look at
their own home team?If they’re worried
about calling their “Redskins,” why don’t they call the Vikings
“White-skins.”Maybe because most of
the Vikings are African-American players with black skins.
Knight-Ridder News Service ran a story on the wires from San Jose, printed in
Sunday’s St. Paul Pioneer Press.The
Asian Indians and the American Indians are having a conflict about who’s the
real Indian.Probably it’s the Indian
fakirs from India and the Indian fakers from America.They’re worried about who is the real Indian.
There is a problem here.How do you get
government officials to accept change, in renaming these Indians, with all of
these Indian treaties.

Abstract: The October-November, 1993 issue of International Gaming &
Wagering Business had a front-page article by Matt Connor, “Corruption on the
reservation: Cause for concern?”In
this article, White Earth enrollee Erma Vizenor is described as “infuriated at
her tribal administrator,” because $12 million dollars worth of funds for
developing the Shooting Star Casino came from the White Earth Land Settlement
Act.She says that this money
rightfully belongs to the White Earth people, and is quoted, “It is almost
impossible to get [accountability] because the tribe is insulated by sovereign
immunity.”
The same article discusses casino security, referring to Potawatomi security
director Roger Miller talking about sending confidential information back and
forth from tribe to tribe, “Our attorneys told us that as sovereign peoples we
could transfer that type of information without being liable for the types of
penalties other organizations might be.For our own protection, we’re allowed to do that.”Just who are the “sovereign peoples” Miller
is talking about?
Matt Connor writes, in the same article, about the gaming contracts, “And once
the contract is approved, it’s extremely difficult to remove a management team
who’s signed on the dotted line.Connor
quotes “Chip” Wadena as saying, “My word is my bond.”Why are some White Earth people complaining about the
casino?Chip gave you his word!Matt Connor also quotes Mystic Lake Vice
President of Planning and Development, Allene Ross, “Once the contract’s
approved and whatnot, tribes have no legal remedies.”Now, get this, folks, once the Bureau of Indian Affairs approves
the contracts, as trustee for their legally incompetent Indian wards, there are
only illusions of Indian sovereignty, and the “sovereignty” that makes it
impossible to get information, belongs to the Secretary of the Interior.
Ever since the Treaties, White intermediaries have been taking the lion’s share:
they take part of it as brokers, and then they take the rest under
trusteeship.At the Treaties, the
Indian Traders were collecting big bucks on what they called
“depredations.”Now, the White media
are molding public opinion, in a diversionary tactic that “organized crime”
might be involved with Indian Gaming.Don’t worry about the Mafia moving onto the Reservations—organized crime
has been involved since the European Whites and Indians invaded Ahnishinahbæótjibway
land.The treaties are analogous to a
giant garage sale, giving away land and resources that never belonged to either
one of them.The concerned public
doesn’t need to get overly optimistic, and look for a different set of
criminals or a change in their behavior.GETTING THE FACTS:
Instead of complaining, there are a number of ways that anybody can find out
what’s happening with the Indian Casinos:
In the business section of the February 15, 1994 Minneapolis Star Tribune,
under Consolidated Stock Listings, Grand Casinos (GrdCasn s) was listed
under the G’s as a National Over-the-Counter stock with a price-to-earnings
ratio of 34, 3064 shares traded, and a closing price of $26.50 per share—stock
prices are listed Tuesday through Saturday in the Business Section.On January 26, the price was listed as 27
5/8, which means twenty-seven dollars and 62 and a half cents, according to a
wise old sage I asked.This elderly
gentleman, who understands the wheeling and dealing of the stock and bond
markets, told me that the 5/8 comes from the Spaniard’s plunder of Aboriginal
Indigenous peoples’ gold.The Spanish
used a gold coin called the Real, and to make change, they cut it up into eight
pieces.This is where “two bits” comes
from, and this old European plunder currency is still quoted in the stock
market every day.
I was also told that stocks are usually sold in blocks of 100.This the message he gave me for you White
Earth people: Legally incorporate a stock-buying co-operative, and keep
accurate records.If a hundred people
get together, for about $30. each (stock price plus stockbroker’s “points”),
you will be part owner on both sides, and the Casino will send you quarterly or
annual reports, probably on expensive glossy paper with four-color
printing.Stockholders also can attend
stockholder’s meetings (according to the old sage, often held in Delaware,
Texas or Nevada, since these states have bigger loopholes in their business
laws and tax shelters), and vote on the people who are running the
company.If a hundred Indians show up,
with one share of stock each, at the next stockholder’s meeting, Chip Wadena
will be very surprised to find out he has a new boss.Don’t blame me, I’m not a rabble rouser.
Anybody who can get to the library can also find information on any company,
including Grand Casinos and Gaming World International, in such reference books
as Standard and Poor’s, Dun and Bradstreet, and many others to which a friendly
librarian can direct you.
Companies which sell stock to the public must register with the Securities
Exchange Commission—and some of the information they file is public
information.All companies are
incorporated, and their articles of incorporation, and owners of record, are
public information.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs has copies of all of the contracts with Gambling
Management Companies—and if the B.I.A. is doing its job, they also have a file
of the information they found when they investigated the company before
approving the contract.This is public
information, and the Bureau is legally obliged to answer Freedom of Information
Act letters.
I gave you all the good news.Now, the
bad news is that Indians are under trusteeship, and are wards of the Government
governed by Chief Jim Crow and his squaw A-par-theid.Indians don’t have any legal rights, and I suppose that the U.S.
Government can take away any stocks an Indian buys, under trusteeship, and if
an Indian acts too uppity, remember that the U.S. Government can take away your
Indian identity, with one stroke of the pen.TRIBAL ELECTIONS:
Momentum is gathering for the elections which will be held in May at Red
Lake.Some of the candidates are
starting to politick, and the loggers are busy making stumps, so everybody will
have a choice of stumps of their very own, when the time comes for stump
speeches.
After every election, since the Indian Reorganization Act brought Democracy
onto Red Lake, there has been a petition circulated, contesting the
election.(What these petitions really
do, is authenticate the crooked political system that the Bureau put in
here.)There has been one dissident,
and a few malcontents, who have spent thirty years trying to get
Chairman-for-Life Roger Jourdain out of office with petitions.Now, this dissident and his malcontents have
good jobs inside the system.The
Florscheim’s on the other foot, and the former “outsiders” are the ones trying
to keep the Chairman-for-Life from getting his job back.During his tenure, Roger Jourdain made it
tough for other candidates to run against him—but some of the laws that he
passed are boomeranging back on him, close enough to the ground that they might
hit him where it hurts.One of Roger’s
own laws, that he now has to live under, is that a candidate for Tribal Office
has to live on the Reservation for a year.Roger has a trailer in Redby, but the New Chairman, Butch Brun, won’t
hook up his water or his electricity.
The dissidents and the malcontents could get ahead of the game, and start
circulating their petitions now.The
Bureau of Indian Affairs has already had a closed-door election, and using
proxy votes under trusteeship, the B.I.A. has already decided who won the
election—the new Tribal Directories are probably at the printer’s now, so they
can be passed out the day after the elections.SELL-OUTS:
In the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, words we used to hear quite often were
“sell-out” and “apple.”Now, we don’t
hear these seemingly obsolete words anymore, because the people who were
hollering “sell-out” the loudest, now have well-paying jobs as professional
apples.Years ago, you weren’t a
militant until you could use the word “sell-out” as a part of your
vocabulary.A Real Militant Indian wore
sunglasses, cowboy boots, braids, and walked kind of bowlegged down the street,
practicing how to say “sell-out” with a condescending sneer.Hmmm, how times change.My telephone number is (218) 679-2382

Abstract: One of the reasons that the people in the higher levels of Western European
hierarchy put everything they have into keeping their position is that they’re
afraid of getting a taste of their own medicine.The people at the top, like George Bush, are so isolated they
don’t even known what’s going on.They
live in their own little Utopia, and self-righteously parrot the slogan that
oppression is the fault of the oppressed.Rather than addressing the social problems from which they personally
benefit, they buy more locks, more keys, more prison cells, and more police
“protection.”Why don’t they just put
barbed wire around the whole country, and admit that it’s a prison and we’re
all slaves.Gassing and burning people
who think differently is not the answer.All of us are human beings—we must stop this “war and peace” and work
for a non-violent and harmonious society, and make this a better world.It can be done.

Nation (We, the People): According to the Bemidji Pioneer, the 1994-95
Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians’ Royalty were named earlier this month ... Native
American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: According to the Bemidji Pioneer, the 1994-95 Red Lake Band of
Chippewa Indians’ Royalty were named earlier this month at what the Pioneer
called the “Red Lake Nation Fair.”I
telephoned the Bemidji Chamber of Commerce to ask if they knew anything about
this Tourist Attraction called Indian Royalty.After I identified myself, they put me on terminal hold.It’s a long-distance call from Red Lake
Reservation to Bemidji, even though it’s only thirty miles away.I suppose that the toll rates have something
to do with royalty.
The question I wanted to ask the Chamber of Commerce is: why do these
upstanding pillars of White society call this the Red Lake Nation, when it
began as a concentration camp created by the United States Government on Ahnishinahbæótjibway
land.Years ago, the U.A. Indian Agent
was in absolute military control.The
mixed-bloods could only leave with a pass from the Indian Agent; the Aboriginal
Indigenous People could not leave the Red Lake prison-camp at all.This policy of the U.S. Government was one
of many designed by the Euro-Americans to destroy the Aboriginal Indigenous
People.
Now, there has been a 180 degrees turnaround: from a concentration camp to a
“Nation.”Most of the people here who
call themselves “Indians” and “sovereign” have at least 7/8 White blood, and
most of the rest of their ancestry is North African or Indo-European.(Many do not have any Ahnishinahbæótjibway
ancestors at all.)How can these White
people call themselves Indians—and be Federally Recognized as card-carrying
Chippewa Indians?(A person who had 7/8
African-American ancestry would probably not call themselves “White”—although
if they had a White patriline, I don’t know why they couldn’t.)
The New Yorker magazine quoted U.C.L.A. Professor G. Reginald Daniel, “We are
the only country in the world that applies the one-drop [of black blood]
rule.”The “drop-of-black-blood” is a
White concept, which is used by their upper class for social and genetic
engineering.The corollary
“drop-of-Indian-blood” rule is a part of the same diabolical scheme, which
creates an artificial social class of tainted-blood “Indians,” who can be eliminated
with one stroke of the White man’s pen when they are no longer needed.Indian blood-quantum serves several
purposes: it keeps the fractionally-tainted-blood Indians from marrying the
White man’s supposedly “lily-white” daughters.Indian blood quantum also maintains the illusion that the White man’s
hands are clean, and creates millions of hypothetical blood-quantum Indians to
obscure the heinous genocide of the Aboriginal Indigenous People on this
Continent.White blood-quantum Indians
act out the White man’s sick fantasy role of Indians—no self-respecting Ahnishinahbæótjibway
person would act that foolish.Most of
the Indians are deluded into thinking that they are Aboriginal Indigenous
people (and in fact the U.S. Department of the Interior supports this
perversion, paying their Indians big bucks to be pathological liars about their
real identity).But, these cheap
imitations don’t know anything about the people whose identity they are trying
to steal.
The paradox of the one-drop-of-tainted blood rule is that because of the many
wars that raged back and forth across Europe, and the rape and other social
diseases that are an inherent part of Western European wars: every White person
has been mongrelized and hybridized, and there is no White person of pure White
ancestry.The Euro-Americans are
running away from their past and their real identity, just as their European
ancestors have done for two thousand years.European languages are abstractions which obscure reality, and
disconnect the people who are trapped by these languages from Nature.Their subject peoples’ languages have also
been distorted—for example, the hierarchical Creole language of Chippewa.The people who created and mutated this
Indian language (stealing words from the Ahnishinahbæótjibway)
also spoke a Creole language: English is a mongrelized, bastard language which
has war and other violence, misogyny and racism built right into it.Because English has a patched-up Creole
structure, the English-speaking women of the world should feel no qualms about
getting together to make up words and grammar to fit their needs as women.MURPHY’S LAW:
Murphy’s Law is based on an old superstition blamed on the Irish, “if anything
can go wrong, it will.”Years ago, the
7th Cavalry followed the Boston patriots’ tea party precedent, and dressed up
as Indians to assault the women and children of the pioneers’ wagon
trains—these atrocities were then used as an excuse to annihilate Aboriginal
Indigenous People, leaving the hang-around-the-fort Indians.They claimed the 19th-century West was
“wild,” although the West was not wild before the White immigrants got here and
made it wild with their greed.Now, the
West really is wild: shoot-em-in-the-back drive-by shootings, O.J. Simpson,
Rodney King police protection, and inner-city riots.The ecosystem is demolished, and the White settlers are caught in
a self-fulfilling prophecy of the violent English language: the “west” has
become really “wild.”Go ahead,
Euro-Americans, sing “This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land ... This
Land was Made for You and Me.”When I
first heard this song by Woody Guthrie, it seemed gross and repulsive—but we
the Aboriginal Indigenous People do not want to claim this violent mess the
Euro-American immigrants have made on our land.What goes around, comes around, and the consequences of
Euro-American irresponsibility are closer than you think.
In Minnesota, the 8th District Federal Court has superseded the 7th
Cavalry.The recent hunting-and-fishing
Treaty-Rights decision rendered by Judge Diana Murphy is being presented in the
media as a “victory for Indians,” but if you look closely at it, the Court
decided with a flip of a one-sided coin, in favor of the Euro-Americans.The money involved has always been printed
and controlled by the White man.At the
time that the Treaty was signed, the Ahnishinahbæótjibway did
not need the White man’s money, and as long as our ecosystem remained intact
(into the 1930’s at Red Lake), we were self-sufficient, so the White man’s
money was irrelevant and useless.(We
had a pristine water system, there was plenty of fish and game, and we had not
been trapped by the immigrants’ greed-ridden mercantile infrastructure.)But, the White man’s Indians have a White
patriline, and because they were created by the Euro-American immigrants, they
have always been tied into the White man’s money system.The Ahnishinahbæótjibway
had no reason to sign an Indian treaty drawing us into the alien White and
Indian economic system.The Indian Treaties
had nothing to do with the Aboriginal Indigenous People—which is why the State
of Minnesota has a vested interest in upholding the crooked Indian Treaties.
Using the forked-tongue English language, the State of Minnesota thinks that
they have come up with a heads-I-win, tails-you-lose foolproof scheme to steal
the land that still belongs to the Ahnishinahbæótjibway.On the one hand, they are “upholding”
crooked treaties while encouraging White “Bud Grant” backlash to create the
illusion of legitimacy; and on the other hand, they are preparing another court
case to claim Red Lake Ahnishinahbæótjibway land—on the
grounds that it was never ceded.To
further compound their crooked scheme, the State of Minnesota is in collusion with
the United States Government, using crooked English to claim that their Indians
are “sovereign nations,” which is both a fraud and a big joke. Instead of
promoting White racism, Bud Grant and his fishing buddies ought to research the
genealogies of their Sovereign Indians with European patrilines.The State of Minnesota knows that neither
the Chippewa Indians nor the other immigrant citizens including the Mille Lacs
“landowners” are indigenous to this land, and they are re-entrenching the con
job of the 1837 Treaty, trying again to steal the land, and then hoping to use
the White resentment they’re molding to horn in on the Federal turf of Indian
gaming, and get their 20% cut off the top while crying about compulsive
gambling (I hope these greedy people get 50% of the gaming gross, so they can
take the blame for all the misery that’s been created by breaking up
families).The Indians, who are White
wards of the U.S. Government under Sovereign Trusteeship, have become pawns in
yet another power play of the apartheid and Jim Crow European immigrant
government.If the State of Minnesota
was honest, they would trash the Indian Treaties, and admit their thievery and
complicity in genocide.
If the United Nations did not operate as a puppet of the Western Europeans
under Roman Law, the Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples of this Continent could sue
the State of Minnesota, the 1934 I.R.A. Indian Tribal Councils, the United
States Government, and the Mille Lacs resort owners, who are all illegally
here.Unfortunately, the name “World
Court” (operating under Roman and English Law) is an euphemism for the Great
White Kangaroo.The European
Nation-States are stealing Indigenous Peoples’ land and resources and
destroying Aboriginal Indigenous ecosystems world-wide, using the alien
pirate-laws of Western Civilization, while perverting any semblance of justice
in the so-called World Court.

Nation (We, the People): “Activist heads home from China,” according to the
front-page headline in Friday’s Minneapolis Star Tribune.American citizen and human rights activist... Native American Press/Ojibwe News.
Notes: “Activist heads home from China,” according to the front-page headline
in Friday’s Minneapolis Star Tribune.American citizen and human rights activist Harry Wu was expelled from
China after having been convicted of spying.Mr. Wu had been videotaping documentaries about human rights violations
and prison labor in China, but his arrest was used by the Good Ol’ Boys in the
United States as a pretext for boycotting the United Nations World Conference
on Women to be held in Beijing September 4-15.
Women around the world have not had an effective voice in international—or
national—politics.The International
Conference on Women is finally providing a forum for women to have dialogue,
debate and discussions about the systematic oppression of women, worldwide,
under the Romanized Western parody of international law.The Good Ol’ Boys have used all kinds of
strategies to keep women from gaining the voice which is rightfully theirs:
from witch-burning to polarizing discussion into volatile and inflammatory
divisive issues like the “abortion debate.”The world is changing; the entrenched male hierarchy has had their
chance and has created nothing but wars and other violence, poverty, pain and
suffering, and ecological devastation.Hey guys, wake up and smell the coffee!LABOR DAY: Labor Day will be celebrated September 4.Union-busting intensified under the Kennedy
administration and has further escalated since the Reagan administration, and
we need acknowledge the changes by re-naming this national holiday.A more accurate name would be “Slave-labor
Day,” or, better yet, “International Human Rights Day,” recognizing the people
who will be working the whole three-day weekend in the highly touted “service
sector” at $4.25 an hour or less, and the migrant laborers who will be sweating
in the fields for far less than the minimum wage, harvesting the food for your
Labor Day picnic.And, what about the
guys in the newly-formed chain gangs, bringing back the good ol’ days of
prison-labor, do they get a 3-day holiday?Harry Wu, where are you?CRIME WATCH: In the cities, local police departments sponsor
“Neighborhood Watch” programs under which neighborhood residents report
criminal activity.We also need
“Neighborhood Watch” groups in the Northbrush: the tree-huggers need to
organize to stop fly-by-night wood-butchers from terrorizing the local
environment and destroying the habitat of the bears, birds, deer, and other
local residents.If you see any
suspicious bulldozers, tree-skidders (especially the kind that takes 40 acres
to turn around, and wrecks everything in front of it)... if you see people in
hard-hats or orange vests, building roads that go nowhere; if you see any
questionable-looking politicians with that greedy look in their eyes,
especially ones with bulging back pockets—that’s when the people who care about
this land should be able to call a hotline and report crimes against the
environment.The only problem: what’s
the phone number?BROKEN PROMISES: When I was growing up at Red Lake, when we met someone,
instead of saying “Hello,” we usually said, “When’s Payment?”That was standard etiquette on the Rez a
generation ago.But, things change,
although people still don’t greet you with a “Hello.”Now, especially at White Earth, the usual greeting is “When are
the indictments coming down?”
John Collier, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs who was the Founding Father of
the Indian Reorganization Act (I.R.A.) Tribal Governments, was quoted as saying
the Indian politicians he wanted had a “white-plus psychology,” meaning that
they were greedier and more corrupt than the white politicians that Collier
knew in Washington—if that’s possible.But, there is always “the good and the bad” in every politician,
including the Federally-Recognized I.R.A. Indian leaders.I try to see the good in everybody, and
these Indian politicians are good at stealing, they’re good at lying, and, in a
Democratic way, they’re very good at putting their own interests ahead of their
constituents’.(The “mismanagement” of
the recent Indigenous Games is one of many examples.)FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED INDIGENOUS GAMES: The White man has been playing
games with his Indians since he invented them.On one hand, he says “Indians are sovereign,” but on the other, he says
that “Indians are wards of the government, under trusteeship,” which means
“incompetent.”Under the English common
law used in the U.S., in order to be guilty of a crime, a person must be competent
to stand trial—maybe this is why certain Indian Leaders can rip off tax
dollars.The White immigrants used
“Indians”—specifically adult Indian males—to sign treaties and land cession
“agreements.”How can documents signed
by incompetent people be legally valid?FOURTH PARTY: Rumor has it that Senator Bill Bradley is throwing his
grey hat into the political melee.He
publicly announced that he is leaving the Senate, but he hopes to make some
changes in Washington, D.C.I don’t
know what his platform is, but he sounds inspirational and patriotic; as though
he sees some fresh air and a light at the end of the tunnel.His Party needs to start with cleaning out
the bull-pen: some of those old bulls and over-fed steers have been fouling the
barn for 200 years (and rats have infested the foundation), and the stench and
pollution from Washington, and the brown cloud that hangs over it, are
sometimes remarkably vile.
Have a safe holiday—drive safely and wear your seat belt.

Nation (We, the People): Another new deal: Newt Gingrich and his cronies are
making moves ... Native American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: ANOTHER NEW DEAL: Newt Gingrich and his cronies are making
moves to bring one of Democratic President Franklin Roosevelt’s projects, the
“New Deal,” to an end.Their “reform”
package includes privatizing social security and abolishing FDR’s social safety
net, welfare (which has become a dirty word).
Before the 1929 stock market crash, most of the United States economy had been
privatized under President Hoover.Even
small investors were encouraged to put their life savings into Wall Street—and
then the stock brokers sold them more stock on credit.As long as the patterns remain embedded in
the language, history will repeat itself.If the reform to do away with FDR’s new deal, and privatize the economy
again, succeeds, then the money in the Social Security trust fund will be
invested in the stock market.Stock
prices will rise dramatically.Then,
more credit will become available for the U.S. Government investors to buy even
more worthless stocks.You guessed it:
the stock market will crash—it will be 1929 all over again.The only difference is that along with your
social security number, you’ll be assigned your own private window to jump out
of.That’s progress.CRIMINAL CULTURE: In the editorial section of Tuesday’s Star Tribune,
the editorial staff writes that the new Congressional “juvenile-crime”
legislation “forbids the use of its funds for crime prevention.”The policy advisors to the U.S. Congress are
not fools, and in their criminal minds, they know perfectly well that
investment in prisons increases the crime rate.So, why are they voting to condemn another generation of children
to a marginalized life of crime and imprisonment?Ever since the Europeans got to this continent, they have
developed their criminal culture: stealing land through crooked treaties and
unjust wars, killing all of the indigenous people and replacing them with
Indians, ripping off resources, polluting the water, and creating mayhem
everywhere they went.The funny part of
it is, they’re so crooked they won’t even admit to what they did.
The congressmen who are voting to build more prisons, create gangs by forcing
single mothers into a marginal job market, destroy communities with “urban
development,” and continue their generations-long strategy of attacking women
and families, know perfectly well what chaos their policies will create.They are buying time, and making money for
themselves and their good buddies in the prison-contracting business, while the
taxpayers pay to entrench the police-state more deeply.
The propaganda and spin doctors of the mainstream media are very effective in
hiding what the elite policy-makers are doing in this “land of the free and
home of the [apartheid] brave.”The
electorate looks straight at the schemes and con jobs, and most of them are so
brainwashed by crooked English that they don’t see what’s right in front of
them—or, they’re into denial.According
to the July 15 Strib, Green Bay Packers’ defensive end Reggie White told
a group of high school students in Knoxville that the white government and
white police “provoke young black men in order to put them behind bars, thus
allowing the government to deprive them of education.[They] want young black males to sell drugs, join gangs and use
guns, so they can be arrested.”Sportswriter Patrick Reusse dismisses Reggie White’s observations by
implying that his comments referred to a “conspiratorial view” of the white
electorate, but, the common person in the U.S. lost his power with the
ratification of the U.S. Constitution.It’s hard to see from inside the English language, but the feudal
history of medieval Europe is repeating itself.Serf’s up, peon the peasants.MORE SCANDALS: While we’re on the subject of crime, congressman Fred
Thompson of Tennessee is described by Robert Reno, in an editorial reprinted in
the Star Tribune, as “soldiering bravely” through the muck of campaign
finance.There are different categories
of financing the political parties, and nobody seems to have a handle on what
kind of money they’re upset about—it remains nameless in this bastardized
English language (as the Indians would say, “it’s so sacred, we can’t talk
about it”).The issue of the moment is
that somebody got caught publicly doing business that is supposed to be
discretely conducted behind closed doors and remain part of the good ol’ boys’
exclusive tradition.In the old days,
some kinds of foreign relations were called “gunboat diplomacy,” and very few
people protested about that kind of influence in other peoples’ governments.Desert Storm was another example of sticking
your nose into other peoples’ business, a “world policeman’s” shakedown for
well-entrenched vested interests.But,
now that the circle’s come around, and the former victims of gunboat diplomacy
are using their finances to protect their own interests, the good ol’ boys
don’t like it, but nobody knows exactly what to call it: is it soft money, hard
money, cold cash, clean money, laundered money, hush money, Indian money,
bread, lots of dough, or good old fashioned influence peddling?GOLD DIGGERS: When the colonial investors wanted to get Europeans to
leave their homeland and come to this continent, they planted rumors about the
streets on this continent being paved with gold.When they wanted to get settlers into California, they had the
Gold Rush of 1849.Then, when they
wanted people to go to Alaska, there was another gold rush.They make their advance settlers into
fly-by-nights, crazed with gold fever.Unwilling participants in these gold rushes and settlement schemes are
“transported” prisoners—a lot of prison-boats were unloaded on these shores,
and it looks like their descendants are going to take another flying leap.There hasn’t been a good old American gold
rush in a long time, so Uncle Sam sent Pathfinder to Mars to look at
rocks.If you’re going to invest in the
stock market, I recommend stocks in pick-and-shovel companies ... good luck to
you Martian prospectors, and don’t forget to be inoculated for gold fever.‘Bye.

Nation (We, the People): “Chip Wadena” was the headline of a staff editorial in
Tuesday’s Minneapolis Star Tribune. ... Native American Press/Ojibwe
News.
Abstract: “Chip Wadena” was the headline of a staff editorial in Tuesday’s
Minneapolis Star Tribune.Sixty-one years after the fact, the mainstream media is finally waking
up to the human rights abuses of 1934 I.R.A. Indian tribal government, writing,
“problems with reservation administrative, political and electoral processes
are often the rule, dating from the federal government’s creation of elected [sic]
tribal governments in 1934.”
In reality, the so-called “Indian constitutions” are abusive client documents,
written by White bureaucrats within the Euro-American power structure, designed
to benefit the good ol’ boys in the resource and real estate industries.The Strib writes that power is
centralized under the 1934 I.R.A. constitutions, but does not identify the
primary problem of the 1934 I.R.A., which is that the people defined as Indians
are wards of the U.S. Government under trusteeship—without any power at all.
The corruption at White Earth (and on the other Indian reservations) has always
been a three-ring circus, involving the Federal government, the State
government, and the so-called “Tribal government.”The corporations are the ring-masters, and the Indian and other
government puppets are fulfilling P.T. Barnum’s maxim that “there’s a sucker
born every minute.”
If U.S. Attorney Lillehaug gets his way with U.S. Government jurisdiction under
Indian sovereignty, then Wadena and his cohorts will probably push for
application of Public Law 280, in the hopes that the good ol’ boys in the State
of Minnesota will only give him a slap on the wrist.The Indian Dissidents at Camp Justice have been cheering ever
since the indictments came down, but now’s the time for them to get busy and go
after the D.F.L. party hacks and members of the State Legislature who have been
behind the scenes in making life miserable for Indians on the Rez.If you settle for another round of broken
promises, we’ve got news for you.The
good ol’ boys are planning to write a new Indian Constitution for the Minnesota
Chippewa Tribe, with the same basic structure (the U.S. Government will still
be autocratically in charge)—but with more refined lawyerese and more
paragraphs of Crooked English.My
advice to you dissidents and malcontents in Camp Justice: if you don’t keep up
the pressure, and if you just sit back and wait for justice to take its course,
things will only get worse.You might
as well stand out in your front yard, place your hand on your ass, and wish for
the moon.“HONEST BOB:” The Honorable
Senator Bob Dole is on the campaign trail.One of the planks in his super-patriotic platform is “English First,”
mandating that all American citizens be fluent in the language of the British
heirs of the Roman Empire.I don’t know
how he’s going to manage that, since the public education system is a shambles,
and many of the students who complete their term of compulsory school education
speak only a few words of rudimentary English, and can neither read nor
write.With all the funding cutbacks
that the Grand Old Republican Party is pushing through Congress, it sounds like
the bill he’s campaigning to introduce is some more Crooked English.
In my experience with compulsory education, the Red Lake schools beat me for
speaking my native Ahnishinahbæótjibway language, but only
taught us a few words of English.I
learned the English language from reading, and looking up every word I didn’t
understand in a dictionary.I am not a
linguist, but from where I stand in the Northbrush, I see it to be a violent
language; a pseudo-male language with undertones of homosexuality—programming
men to be “macho,” self-destructive and insensitive; a hierarchical language
which oppresses and denies the identity of women and everyone else who has only
a rudimentary grasp of English.English
is a linear-thinking language—a con job which makes it impossible to win an
argument with those who have superior knowledge of this insidious language.
The 1934 I.R.A. Constitutions are a good example of how the good ol’ boys use
Crooked English.That the United States
Secretary of the Interior holds all of the Sovereignty and all of the power in
the so-called “Indian Nations” is written right into the Tribal Constitutions,
but because most of the Reservation Indians don’t understand Crooked English,
they believe the hocus-pocus about “Sovereign Indian Nations” which has been
promoted by the media, and stand up right on cue to holler, “Honor the
Treaties,” which is some more Crooked English—the U.S. is honoring the
treaties, they are the ones who wrote these fraudulent documents in Crooked
English (the Treaties were land cession documents and the U.S.A. has the
land).Would you buy a used car from
“Honest Bob?”
Senator Bob gives speeches in Crooked English, promoting the illusion that
English First will bring this country back together.The Demo-Publicans put a lot of energy and effort into destroying
Aboriginal Indigenous families and communities, as well as using the old Roman
“divide and conquer” strategy to promote ethnic, class, and racial strife.Now, the very same people who proclaimed
themselves “our brother’s keepers” and claimed God told them to use Manifest
Destiny, are complaining about “ethnic separation.”The English language is a masterpiece of manipulative deceptions,
abstract illusions, mixed metaphors, violently twisted dichotomies and subtle
falsehoods.It’s an amazing work of con
artists and the foundation of centuries of suffering and wars; but I love this
language, because like all of the other monumental achievements of Western
Culture (such as destroying the environment, wrecking Indigenous communities
all over the world, and sending everything toward extinction), it’s so
magnificently and disgustingly crooked.English is a slave language, and promoting English First is a big step
in the direction of Euro-American feudalism.It goes something like this: “Serf’s up, peon the peasants.”
The English language does not belong on this continent, and immigrant
Westerners mandating English as the official “American” language is an open
admission of genocide.Go ahead, Honest
Bob, make my day.MORE INDIANS: The blood quantum strategy has taken its toll, and the
B.I.A. is running low on Red Lake Indians—as planned.The shysters and backroom chiefs at the Bureau are at a loss for
crooked terminology re-defining “Indians” yet another time, so the white men
who run the 1934 I.R.A. Red Lake Tribal Council have amended the “Tribal Code”
to create more Indians.They’re really
getting cheap: the only “Indian benefit” these new Indians get is prosecution
by the B.I.A.’s kangaroo Indian court under the new “beefed up” tribal code.
The Euro-Americans’ Indian identity has always been a lie, and the people who
give up their own identity to play Indian are hypocrites.In Indian affairs, the White man has always
been a hypocrite, promoting a fraudulent identity which is a human rights
violation.Because the Euro-Americans
think in Crooked English, they thought they could get away with using
Aboriginal Indigenous resources—which made them rich—to destroy the Indigenous
peoples of this continent.But if you
listen carefully, you can hear the circle coming around.My telephone number is (218)

Nation (We, the People): “Clinton is the first president to level about race,”
according to journalist Syl Jones ... Native American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: “Clinton is the first president to level about race,” according to
journalist Syl Jones in the Commentary section of the June 17 Star Tribune.Historically, all of the U.S. Presidents were
“level” about race—most of them were prone, although Lincoln went toward a
vertical dimension in Mankato.Clinton,
like other second-term presidents, is playing politics for future history
writers, wanting to leave his legacy.But, like most politicians, Clinton’s noble posturing is meaningless:
just another slogan.Nixon’s Clean Air
Act was a slogan, Johnson’s War on Poverty was another slogan, and Affirmative
Action is another empty slogan.Without
a serious plan of action, these words are nothing more than hot air.Like the Ten Commandments, which are ten
slogans, they are meaningless: hypocritical catchphrases and empty platitudes.APOLOGIES: Ever since the Roman Catholic Pope apologized to Galileo
(about five hundred years late), public figures have gone ape, monkey-see,
monkey-do, making headlines with meaningless apologies.Sunday’s Star Tribune mentions a
number of these would-be apologists, including British Prime Minister Tony
“Radical Center” Blair, who apologized for the Irish famine of 1845.From another British colony, former U.S.A.
President F.W. De Klerk apologized, “on our knees before God Almighty” for
living at the wrong time, and getting caught.The Star Tribune quotes de Klerk as begging God’s forgiveness (but
not the forgiveness of the South African Blacks’) for being “the product of the
cultural and political circumstances into which we were born and with which we
grew up.”From yet another continent of
the stolen British Empire, Prime Minister John Howard of Australia “rejected
recommendations” that he apologize to the aboriginal people of Australia for
more than a century of British genocide, rape, forced removals and other human
rights violations.And, from still
other heirs of the British, state of Minnesota representative Martin Sabo is
said by the Star Tribune to be “not prepared to respond” about either
slavery or racism.Sabo is the DFL
Party’s in-house Congressman.Another
apartheid statesman we haven’t heard from yet is Nelson Mandela: who has been a
highly touted advocate of “democracy” and “freedom,” but whose administration
is henching for European globalization and NATO imperialism.“Democracy” and “freedom” are some snake-oil
salesman crooked English words, and in spite of the positive “spin” on them,
what they really mean is “exclusion” and “apartheid.”What Nelson Mandela should be doing, is apologizing to De Klerk
for kicking out the old horse-and-buggy form of European apartheid, and
bringing in a newer, updated, “electronic age” form of European apartheid.If Nelson Mandela does the manly thing and
apologizes, watch De Klerk’s face light up with a big, devious smile.MILITARY PROMOTION: The Major Crimes Act has been promoted to the
General F--k-up Act at Red Lake.The
Major Crimes Act, now known as the General F--k-up Act, was passed by the White
man in the 1800’s, as encroachment legislation to control the community on
Indian Reservations, and that’s just how Attorney General Lillehaug is using
it.He’s throwing the blame for recent
reservation violence onto the people of Redby, and hiding behind the “60 to 70
day” countdown “to make a case.”What
Lillehaug is doing is even more encroachment, social engineering to give the
FBI and the federal government an excuse to create a police state at Red Lake,
and get their hands into the casino coffers at the same time.Lillehaug could have easily arrested the
people who were part of the school-party murder.“60 to 70 days” is an empty excuse, because the Feds could have
arrested the murderers on other trumped-up charges, like they do for everybody
else.Lillehaug’s delay is a part of a
long-standing strategy, an old Machiavellian concept, of creating conflict in
communities which the Europeans have invaded and occupied.The people at Red Lake need to sue Lillehaug
for the “consequential damages” caused by his unnecessary social-engineering
delay—and, as a part of the wanna-be White government, Lillehaug needs to make
an apology for the pain and suffering that his high-handed apartheid policies
have inflicted on people at Red Lake.KA-LAI-JA: Years ago, when former vice-president Hubert Humphrey was
still campaigning for Congress, Chairman-for-Life Roger Jourdain adopted
Humphrey into the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians.Not so very long ago, when Roosevelt’s machine politics were
still running smoothly on well-greased wheels, Roger Jourdain didn’t need a
medicine man to help him play Indian, and he didn’t need a shaman, either.He adopted Hubert Humphrey, but through the
Indian grapevine, it was always said that they gave Humphrey the wrong
name—that his real name was “Walking Eagle.”And now, you know the rest of the story.
As long as I can remember, all the White man had to say about Indians was
“assimilate, and be civilized like us.”Now, politicians have given up on kissing babies, and are being adopted
into Indian tribes.Under the authority
of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal I.R.A., the Red Lake Tribal Council has
adopted Roger Moe (presumably with the approval of the Secretary of the
Interior or his duly authorized representative).
Back in the 1950’s, when the Bureau of Indian Affairs was “precipitating
factions” to get the Indian Reorganization Act onto Red Lake, the landless
Indians who aren’t from here, like Roger Jourdain and his flunkies, backed the
I.R.A. because the United States Government was promising to give these
outsiders land at Red Lake.(The United
States Government has never had any legitimate claim to the land at Red Lake, but
that’s another issue.)
Bobby Whitefeather isn’t an Indian Medicine Man, like Roger Jourdain was.So, he had to go get the Minnesota
Legislature’s Indian Shaman to make Roger Moe into an Indian.The newspapers don’t report how much blood
quantum they gave Roger Moe when they adopted him—back in the old days, when
they turned White men into Indians, they usually made them into
“halfbreeds.”There’s something strange
going on, with the highly advanced civilization that the White man was forcing
us to assimilate into.Now, the
children of the White Man who said that God entrusted them with Manifest
Destiny are regressing, and their guilt is showing.(Guilt makes people do strange things.)They’re so civilized they’ve degenerated, and they all want to
become “natives,” “New Age Indians,” and White Federally Adopted
Wanna-be’s.If you Republicans really
want to get rid of Roger Moe, all you have to do is terminate the Indians.With “one stroke on the keyboard,” you’ll
get rid of that degenerated half-breed Indian Roger Moe, and then your troubles
are over (or maybe they’re just beginning).Well, anyway, the rest of you, who aren’t adopted Indians and
wanna-be’s, have a nice day.

Nation (We, the People): Governor Arne Carlson is “firmly opposed to any
increase” in Minnesota’s poverty-level minimum wage ... Native American
Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: Governor Arne Carlson is “firmly opposed to any increase” in
Minnesota’s poverty-level minimum wage, according to the Tuesday, February 20
Minneapolis Star Tribune.(If
Arne thinks the minimum wage is that great, he should be paid $4.25 an hour for
being Governor.)The Strib also
reported that Republicans explained the increase would put rural businesses at
a “competitive disadvantage.”But,
rural businesses are not all small businesses, and some of the “rural
businesses” which pay minimum wage are major, multi-national corporations.The minimum wage for small-town Ma-and-Pa
stores which have a high school kid helping out after school is one thing, and
a livable-wage minimum wage law which exempted rural businesses with less than
ten employees could be fair.But big
businesses which sell stock on the New York Stock Exchange paying the minimum
wage to their 39-hours-per-week (and no benefits) employees, and million-dollar
bonuses to top-level executives, is exploitation—sanctioned by the State, and
subsidized by tax breaks for the wealthy and condoned with meager
poverty-programs for the “working poor.”But, then again, the imported European Capitalist, Communist, Socialist,
etc. philosophies advocate the concepts, “greed is good” and “exploitation is
healthy,” although the people who are being exploited have never had a forum to
air their grievances and broadcast how they feel about it.

BLOWING SMOKE: Since Grassroots Party leader Arlin Troutt’s eloquent
speech at his conviction on drug charges, the controversy over the Government’s
role in “morality legislation” has become more public.If the government is using selective
prohibition to “protect the citizenry,” why don’t they also prohibit sugar,
tobacco, coffee, chemical food additives and alcohol other than untaxed
moonshine and Crazy Horse Malt Liquor.I detect a more than a hint of hypocrisy—it looks like the Great White
Father is using drug laws as social engineering: to keep the class system
intact, to tear apart inner-city communities, to divert attention away from the
shenanigans and rip-offs done by the elite and their henches the “democratic
leaders,” and to make money for the good ol’ boys through economic
opportunities created by the criminal justice system (like sweetheart prison
contracts).
In the 1960’s, some of the Hippie Generation used a mild form of marijuana as a
religious sacrament.The Generals in
the Drug War are afraid that a new religion will become formalized, something
like the “Peyote Cult” of the Native American Church.If prohibition continues, that’s probably what will happen...
schisms from the Grassroots Party could form outdoor churches and little cults
like “Rope-a-Dope,” “Heap-Big-Smoke (but no fire),” and “The Congregation of
the Church of Good Shit,” to name a few.The Good Christians use alcohol as a sacred drug, burn incense, and have
canonized some far out visions described in their Bible, so this kind of “new
religion” would be Constitutionally protected.
Marijuana is a medicinal herb, and like all medicines (even aspirin), can be
abused.Just as the British promoted
opium abuse in China, and rauwolfia in the water supply in India, the U.S.
Government is tacitly promoting certain kinds of drug abuse to keep non-white
communities subjugated in a re-run of the same kinds of exploitive colonial
thinking that they’ve been using for centuries.The present prohibition “drug laws” are intended to create
criminal behavior and social disintegration—and to fragment communities into
powerless nuclear families.

THE “GOOD GUYS:” According to the social science textbook, Theories
of Deviance, edited by Stuart H. Traub and Craig B. Little, “Crime is a definition
of behavior that is conferred on some persons by others.Agents of the law (legislators, police,
prosecutors and judges), representing segments of a politically organized
society, are responsible for formulating and administering criminal law.Persons and behaviors, therefore, become
criminal because of the formulation and application of criminal
definitions.Thus, crime is created.... Crime is not inherent in behavior, but
is a judgement made by some about the actions and characteristics of others.
... Crime is seen as a result of a process which culminates in the defining of
persons and behaviors as criminal.It
follows, then, that the greater the number of criminal definitions
formulated and applied, the greater the amount of crime. ... Criminal
definitions describe behaviors that conflict with the interests of the segments
of society that have the power to shape public policy.” [emphasis theirs]
From an Ahnishinahbæótjibway perspective, many of the actions
and values of these powerful “segments of society” are those of criminal
con-artists.If the European culture
and values which have been imposed on this Continent had been balanced and
harmonious, then the Europeans would have never had to cut themselves off from
their roots and leave their homeland.

BROWNSHIRTS: Using innuendos and
allegations, the young Republicans are demolishing each other with “negative
campaigning;” the anonymous alligators need to come forward and act
responsibly.When all the bashing is
done, and the primary melée is over, will there be anybody left?How about Newt?
To solidify his constituents in the New Hampshire primaries, perennial
presidential candidate and former Nixon speechwriter Pat Buchanan reluctantly
suspended militant right-winger Larry Pratt, who was adept at rabble-rousing,
and getting out the riff-raff and redneck vote.Four years ago, Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard and neo-Nazi David Duke
was suspended by the Republicans, and because of his “tainted blood” suddenly
dropped out of politics and went back to selling insurance in the Aryan
Nation.Both parties want the
reactionary vote, but don’t want their enthusiastic public support or
“kiss-of-death” endorsements.
Buchanan is extremely sensitive to the mood of the disenfranchised lower
classes, and is effectively promoting issues which attract and motivate
them.But, he is also attracting another
element—and creating scapegoats to blame for the economic woes of blue-collar
workers.Remember the last time such a
charismatic and expedient leader got involved in politics: the rise of Adolf
Hitler in the 1930’s was accelerated by his apparent sympathy to the woes
created by high German unemployment, and the urgent need for scapegoats to
protect the upper classes and motivate the working people.
Can you hear the faint cadence of hob-nailed jackboots marching through the
distant night on cobblestones, to the strains of Richard Wagner.They say that music “soothes the savage
beast,” but Wagner’s is a wake-up call for the beast; it stirs nationalism and
ethnic cleansing, pseudo-morality based on judging others—creating unhappy
groups and thus legitimizing hate.
As long as the Westerners are prisoners of their hierarchical, disconnected and
violent language, their history will continue to repeat itself.Rodney King said, “why can’t we all get
along?”But then again, it’s not a
level playing field.

Abstract: Greetings and hello to all of you peasants and you immigrants, and
boozhoo to all you Indians, eh.When
Mike Tyson telephoned Ross Perot, what did Perot say?NICOTINE FITS:This year, the
city of Bemidji is celebrating its Centennial.For sixty of the past hundred years, since 1937, Paul Bunyan has been
standing on the western shores of Lake Bemidji.This rugged individual, who was the first mercenary and
eco-terrorist for the paper mills and lumber companies who lobby in Washington,
D.C., has been the icon of Bemidji, and a role model for the local youth who
wanted to grow up to be lumberjacks like Paul Bunyan.Now, the timber is gone, clearcut, but Paul still continues to
influence children: he has a pipe in his mouth continually.
Rumor has it that Bemidji High School has installed surveillance cameras
throughout the school neighborhood to apprehend students smoking on their lunch
break, and the State is stepping up enforcement (and creating crime where there
is no crime) by “carding” would-be tobacco purchasers and running expensive
“sting” operations.It seems like
they’re spending an awful lot of money—and prohibition just makes illicit
products seem more desirable.The guys
who are using tobacco prohibition for their own gain, making unnecessary laws
to enhance their own employment, are con artists, and they should be in
jail.If they really cared about public
health, they would be focussing on big polluters instead of on mickey-mouse
issues and scapegoating tobacco.They’ve already castrated Babe the Blue Ox, so the pillars of Bemidji
might as well take away Paul’s symbol of manhood, his pipe, so he’s not a big
example of filthy, rotten, dirty habits.DOUBLESPEAK: The discussions about the Boundary Waters “wilderness” have
reached an impasse, and so the final settlement will be hashed out in
Washington, D.C.Those of us who have
dealt with Washington on a long-term basis know what that means.The spin departments for the timber industry
are already planting “trial balloons,” including improbable stories about how
the ecosystems work, into the media.Among the rationales that they’re testing for public acceptance are the
“global warming” and the end-of-the world theories: that the BWCA is at the
“southern boundary of the conifer forest area”—it never used to be, until the
immigrant European lumberjacks came in here and cut down the rest of the pine
forests.In another year or so, the
paper mills will try to persuade the public to cut down the forests in the BWCA
because the forests will “die anyway” from global warming and pollution, so
they might as well cut down the forests so the trees aren’t “wasted.”Another corporate fable is that the trees in
old-growth forests are “too crowded,” and “sound management” requires that they
cut down two out of three trees to “make room” for the remaining trees.The part of this fairy story that they don’t
tell you is that this is the next step in demolishing the entire ecosystem:
cutting down the few stands of old-growth which remain on this continent,
replacing them with “tree farms,” and then telling the public that there are
“more trees” than there were five hundred years ago.What they don’t say is that these “more trees” are only about
three inches tall, and in sickly, chemical-laden tree farms—like the modern
agricultural cornfields with nothing but dead birds in them.
Looking beyond the doublespeak, the English language tells me what they’re
going to do.I’m making a prediction
and a prophecy: the entire Boundary Waters Canoe Area is going to be destroyed:
cut down, logged off, and “developed,” and the animals will be driven into
extinction.Your European English
language is out of balance with nature, with yourselves, and with reality.Even if God came down and performed a
miracle, the BWCA will still go into extinction—the bottom line for the White
man is making money, and the English language is filled with blueprints for
exploiting women, nature ... and everything else.That’s why the Euro-Americans left Europe and gave themselves a
new name (although they kept their old criminal values).LAND OF THE FREE: In a Strib “Counterpoint” editorial on August
second, attorneys for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored
People quoted from a NAACP position paper stating that, “segregation was and is
tied inextricably to the ideology of white supremacy.”The NAACP proposes battling the consequences
of white supremacist thinking in the courts, as well as in “state legislatures
and executive mansions, before boards of education and councils of local
governments, with local businesses and civic organizations, and last but not
least, with parents and students.”All
of these proposed NAACP “battlegrounds” are White institutions, including the
NAACP, which, if it was all Black, wouldn’t be “colored.”If they’re expecting to win “justice” with
their battles, they’re in for a big disappointment.There’s another institution, called “repeat after me, ‘our father
who art in heaven,’” but that’s a dead-end White institution, too.
Dealing with problems created by White institutions inside of the context of
these institutions isn’t going to solve the problems of racism and “race
relations,” nor the hierarchical apartheid which is embedded in the English
language.If Euro-American language was
not inherently apartheid, both the White immigrants and the descendants of their
Black slaves would not be here—they would still be at home, taking care of
their “motherlands” and their “fatherlands” in Europe and Africa.
Violence is a part the un-natural makeup of cultural and religion of Western
Civilization, and is inherent in the English language.It amuses me, when the Euro-Americans create
all kinds of different religions, political parties and other institutions, and
then fight about them.They are stuck
in the violence, abstract unreality and stupidity of their language.If the NAACP and other organizations looking
for social justice are serious about wanting change, they need to look beyond
“race relations,” which is a White institution created by the language, and
take a damn’ good hard look at the violence and oppression in the
pathologically unbalanced English language.

ONE NATION UNDER JUDEO-CHRISTIANITY: According to the Metro/State
section of the August 14 Star Tribune, TV evangelist Robert Schuller was
convicted for assault on a United Airlines flight attendant.In my book, We Have The Right to Exist,
I write about the violence of the Christians’ religion.In St. Mary’s Mission School at Redlake, and
in other boarding schools across the country, run by the U.S. Government and
the religious reich, indigenous children were beaten daily in the name of God
and civilization, so that we would become numb and immune to the violence which
saturates the White man’s culture.Now,
people are concerned about the violence in Euro-American culture, about the
daily gunshots and murders which are a part of Euro-American urban life.They keep pointing fingers and blaming
television as causing the violence.Instead of blaming the symptoms, they need to go to the source: male
violent language and the western religion that it molds, are the cause of their
violence, and what about the Branch Davidians at Waco?The surro-great white mother (acting on
behalf of the Great White Father) burned up all of those little children to
“protect” them.

TIGHT SHOES (if the shoe fits, wear it): My name is Wub-e-ke-niew.That other name was given to my father in
the Mission School by racist Christians, to destroy my people’s real
identity.My father was the first
generation with the name “Blake,” and using that derogatory “Indian” name is an
insult, a human rights violation, disgusting and obscene.I have my identity—and I am not a European
and I am not an Indian or a “Native American.”The Indians, who were brought onto my land by the White man, call me
“Blake” just like their racist full-White relatives do, because the Indians are
hiding from their genocidal history like the rest of the immigrants.When you claim to own stolen property, you
are just as guilty as the people who murdered to steal it.
Hitler learned from the Americans, the British, and other European colonizing
nations, how to commit genocide and other vile human rights violations.These perversions remain embedded in Western
European thought, and are still a part of Euro-American language, culture and
tradition.In this beginning of this
century, United States Senator Albert Beveridge spoke for the mainstream when
he addressed Congress: “We will not renounce our part in the mission of our
race, trustee, under God, of the civilization of the world.And we will move forward to our work ...
with gratitude for a task worthy of our strength, and thanksgiving to Almighty
God that He has marked us His chosen people, henceforth to lead in the
regeneration of the world... Mr. President, this question is deeper than any
question of party politics; deeper than any question of isolated policy of our
country even; deeper even than any question of constitutional power.It is elemental.It is racial.God has not
been preparing the English-speaking and Teutonic peoples for a thousand years
for nothing but vain and idle self-contemplation and self-admiration.No!He has made us the master organizers of the world to establish system
where chaos reigns.He has given us the
spirit of progress to overwhelm the forces of reaction throughout the
earth.He has made us adept in government
that we may administer government among savage and senile peoples.Were it not for such a force as this the
world would relapse into barbarism and night.And of all our race He has marked the American people to finally lead in
the regeneration of the world.[Such
garbage—they didn’t take care of their land in Europe, and they still don’t
know how to take care of the land here.]This is the divine mission of America, and it holds for us all the
profit, all the glory, all the happiness possible for man.”By “man,” Beveridge and his cohorts meant
the invading European white man, and not even their own women.
If anyone is looking for the Third Reich, all they have to do is look at their
own Euro-American history—where did you come from, and what are you doing
here?The indigenous people of this
continent did not invade Europe or anywhere else.The European invaders and their Indian descendants have been on
this continent for five hundred years, and they are behaving in a way that
gives pigs a bad name: polluting everything, killing people and sending entire
ecosystems into extinction.All you
have to do is look at Red Lake—the fish are gone, and the forests have been cut
down by wanna-be Indians who have European values and are a part of the
Euro-American parasitic culture.
Racism is a European concept, and it always has been.It’s embedded in the European languages in order to justify
stealing, enslaving people, dehumanizing and domesticating them, and taking
away their real identity.There were no
“Indians” on this continent until the Europeans got here—the artificial Indian
identity was created by the Europeans and Euro-Americans as a part of their
racist culture, and it continues to be funded by the White good ol’ boys who
run “America.”The darker-skinned
children of White men were called Indians because these Whites were so racist
they excluded their own children from their community.These Indians, who all have a White
patriline, were used by their fathers’ people to destroy indigenous people and
our permaculture, and to hide the near-total genocide of my Ahnishinahbæótjibway
people.
The “one drop of black blood” rule segregates people.Madame Albright points to Chinese “human rights violations,” but
what about her own back yard?The
“black blood” rule remains enforced to this day, with Indians (whose ancestors
were categorized as “mulattos” 137 years ago) classified down to 1/508th
non-White blood quantum, and “federal recognition” of Indians based on this
fictitious “blood quantum” and controlled by the White government.Indian “sovereignty” is a part of this
Euro-American apartheid, in which the lily-Whites keep all of the power and
segregate their relatives who are a darker shade of White, into dependency as a
part of a feudal class structure.And,
you want me to be a part of that civilized society by calling me “Blake.”No thank you!
If the indigenous people here had been civilized like the Europeans, we would
have killed Christopher Columbus—he would never have landed.I don’t need to be civilized, and I don’t
need a “soul,” because I don’t condone slavery.Western civilization is a slave society, and I do not want to be
a part of it.By refusing to recognize
me as an indigenous person of this land, the language of the invaders and their
heirs like c.e. saint germaine, tells me that they want to continue creating
the American Reich, dripping with the blood of my people.And, stay away from me, saint—the further
people like you stay away, the better I like it: in your arrogant
self-righteousness, you have bad “manifest destiny” vibes.
“Racial purity” is an illusion and a con job, and “peace” is just another word
for continual violence.The people of
Western Civilization have been mongrelized by the rape of war-and-peace ever
since their violent society began.There is no such thing as race, but there is a class system.The egalitarian indigenous people of this
continent did not have either “race” or “social class,” but we had family, the Dodem,
which is my identity.This has nothing
to do with “race.”As a diatribe-writer
in last week’s Native American Press/Ojibwe News observed somewhat less than
compassionately, I am among the last of my people.All of my relatives of my Dodems were massacred in the
genocide against my people.They are
gone.To label my remembrance of my relatives
who were killed in the continent-wide holocaust of half a millennium, as
“racism” is bad manners and no respect, as well as being active complicity in
the coverup of the White man’s perverted philosophy of “my brother’s keeper”
which is an euphemism for genocide.When I reach down into the soil, when I touch Grandmother Earth, the
bones of my ancestors for hundreds of millennia are right here.My Indodemian may be dead, but I am
not alone.I am still connected to the
Earth here.
There was never any genocide against the Indians, because they all have
European patrilines—those who were killed, were murdered in fratricide (like
Cain and Abel) by their own father’s people for economic reasons, greed.Both miscegenation and primogeniture were
used to disinherit the White man’s children: “race” is a part of the White
man’s economic system and class structure.That’s why the Indians never talk about genocide of the Indian people,
and they’re not going to.And, they
never admit to the genocide of the indigenous people, because they are in
complicity with it.
According to the Christian calendar, we stand at the threshold of a new
millennium.Some Indians write about
their “venture into the next millennium,” because they are a part of the
invader’s Christian system.What I have
to say to them is: if you want to create a decent future for your next
generations, you had better talk a long, hard look at your history, if you
can.But, you are caught up in the
Euro-Americans’ language, you are into denial, you are a foreigner to this land
and it still terrifies you where you haven’t completely trashed it, beaten it
into submission and domesticated it—like in the BWCA, where the land is still a
reflection of my ancestors’ language.Even if you cut down every tree, become a tree farmer, and said there
was “nothing here” but what you created, you would still be a stranger to this
land.Because of your alienation with
everything here, you refuse to say my indigenous name, Wub-e-ke-niew.I am among the very last of my people, and I
will not vanish in silence—you will not get away with your “perfect crime” of
stealing this content.American
imperialism and the Third Reich have the same roots and the same values.You aren’t afraid of the Thousand Year
Reich—you already have that, and after more than a five hundred years on this
continent, you’re more than half done.It can’t last, and projecting your immoral values and guilty fears onto
me will change nothing: Euro-America had a beginning, and it will also have an
end.And, until you face reality, the
violence of the American Reich will circle back around on you, again and again
and again.
You need to be cleansed of some of your ignorant illusions, c.e. saint
germaine—a golden shower to you, eh.And the rest of you have a good day.

have enacted an unconstitutional Proposition which denies all government
services to illegal aliens, a foreign kind of discrimination against immigrants
based on date of arrival—the second sons of the old European blue-bloods didn’t
have green cards, either, and the U.S. Constitution is a European immigrants’
document based on imported Roman and English law.The recent undocumented immigrants pay more than their fair share
of taxes, and subsidize the economic system in California with wages which are
far below the poverty level.The fruit
growers and other agribusinesses welcome these so-called illegal aliens with
open arms and pats on the back, exploiting their cheap labor, and then, when
the crops are harvested, instead of receiving unemployment compensation or
social security, the I.N.S. has a big roundup, fines the workers a hefty
percentage of their earnings, and deports them back south of the border using
firearms and batons (clubs).So much
for “affirmative action” for the most recent immigrants without green cards.
Affirmative action has been touted to “disadvantaged minorities” as redressing
the legacy of centuries of discrimination.A very few Uncle Toms, Uncle Tomahawks and some Aunt Jemimahs and
Pocahantases got middle-class jobs as tokens under affirmative action, which
maintains the status quo—it was not designed to assimilate or desegregate the
good ol’ WASP boys’ economic system.The people who have benefitted from the last three decades of
affirmative action are the white businessmen, including consultants, federal
contractors, and office supply companies.Under Affirmative Action, the big corporations get wealthier and
minority employees have less take-home pay than they used to—for the working
people, nothing’s adjusted for inflation and never will be.
Affirmative action has been an unwritten law for a long time, under other
names.In one example of affirmative
action, the self-proclaimed upper class labelled their lower class “White
trash,” and used them to do the carpetbaggers’ and squatters’ dirty work: the
K.K.K. dressed in white robes and carried crosses in the south.In the north, affirmative action was
promoted by White squaw-men carry ing crosses and dressed in Black Robes, who
segregated the French “[clearcut] Jackpine Savages” and sawed-off “Burnt
Stumps” from the allegedly “civilized” WASPS, laying the foundation for what’s
now called “Indian [quasi-] Sovereignty” (held in trust for their Indian wards
by the United States Government).The
mixed message is an illusion, a dichotomy of slogans: “Church and State are
Separate,” but “In God We Trust;” greenbacks pack a bigger clout than green
cards, and blood runs thicker than water.Any Affirmative Action program designed by the WASP elite is going to
benefit nobody else, but it turns Congressional politicians into rabid
demagogues and provides the White lower classes and riffraff with an expedient
scapegoat.GET GOVERNMENT OFF OUR BACKS: There has been much ballyhoo, by people
who made their fortunes and social position from Anglo government give-aways
(including four centuries of pork-barrel distribution of Aboriginal Indigenous
peoples’ property), to “get Government off our backs.”Just the other night, television news
featured cry-baby American auto makers whimpering about not having a “level
playing field” for selling shoddy, left-hand drive, gas-hog cars in the islands
of Japan (maybe they’re hoping that if they send enough Detroit-irons over
there, they’ll sink those tiny islands and their competition along with it).The elite who is urging the American public
to “get government of your backs” is subsidized by American public taxpayers
though the gas taxes, energy programs, trade stipends, etc., etc.But, in the good old American Tradition of
greed, they want more!They’re asking

cousin to Agent Orange on the power-line right-of-ways east of the
Reservation.Poison is poison, and what
they’re spraying to kill the plants is also killing the birds, insects, deer
and what’s left of the vanishing species that comprise the wildlife in the
Northwoods (whoops, I meant Northbrush—it’s all been clearcut) of Northern
Minnesota.The herbicides also get into
the surface water and the groundwater—instead of providing summer jobs cutting
brush, the electric companies are creating a time bomb for future
generations.NASA is promoting its
space program, but the utility companies have another space program all their
own—they are completely disconnected from Grandmother Earth, out of balance and
in disharmony.I.R.A. NEWS: The Big Indians are gearing up for the White man’s colonial

Abstract: Greetings, pilgrims and immigrants.Just about everybody survived the big cold spell during the first week
of February, and they’re still here... but cars wouldn’t start, water pipes
were frozen up, school busses were running late and one day the schools were
closed by the Governor because it was too cold.In fact, he kept the children home, but he made their moms go to
work, leaving the children home alone or their mothers desperately looking for
child-care.What he should have done is
given moms the day off, with pay.The
Western European nuclear family structure leaves people extremely
vulnerable—with an egalitarian extended family, there wouldn’t have been such a
problem.

SOVEREIGNTY: The 1957 Webster’s dictionary defines apartheid as
“the policy of strict racial segregation and discrimination against the native
Negroes and other colored peoples as practiced in the Union of South Africa”
[U.S.A.].When applied to non-European
people, any Western European ideology, such as capitalism, communism,
socialism, democracy, and big organized religion, is also de facto
apartheid.U.S.A. Indian law and Indian
reservation “sovereignty” is the pattern of segregation upon which the
Europeans based their South African apartheid; this kind of exploitive and
dehumanizing relationship to indigenous peoples is an integral part of Western
European colonial thinking and ideology.The resulting tremendous injustices to both the people and the land
can’t be fixed with human rights activism or civil rights movements;
affirmative action won’t do it and neither will raising the minimum wage.Instead of dealing with the problems of
apartheid/Indian “sovereignty” on a case-by-case symptomatic level (and thereby
entrenching the system), people who are sincere about wanting to fix the
problems need to scrutinize the English language, Western hierarchical values
and linear thinking, and the fragmentation of society created by nuclear
families.

WELFARE REFORM: I drove by the State Capital last week, when the
Legislature was in session, and all I could smell was pork.Many of the lobbyists and vested interests
were hurrying and scurrying around to get their fair share of the Tax Dollars
and Tax Breaks, looking for government subsidies for their businesses and
investments, and at the same time crying out for “welfare reform,” “tax breaks”
and “get government off our backs.”So,
what’s the beef?Social workers,
case-workers and Human Services administrators get a far more comfortable
standard of living from the Welfare system than their scapegoated clients
do.The problem is crooked
English.The upper and middle classes
are “subsidized” by pork; it’s only the poor who get “welfare,” and only the
powerless, many of them excluded as societal classes from the mainstream economic
system, who are socially sanctioned for being poor.
But, from an Ahnishinahbæótjibway perspective, the whole
country is on “welfare”—the Western European immigrants have been on welfare
subsidized by Aboriginal Indigenous peoples’ resources and property for the
past five hundred years, and our wealth is just about gone.Plundering our land is why many of the
European immigrants left their homeland—they didn’t take care of the land they
left, and they’re not taking care of this land, either.They act as though they have no roots and no
responsibility for their own future generations... here today and gone
tomorrow, highly mobile fly-by-night people who only know how to sing
“patriotic” songs like “this land is your land, this land is my land” as they
leave a ruined ecosystem behind them, such as the abandoned iron ore pits which
once provided “jobs, jobs, jobs” that are now “gone, gone, gone.”WHITE PINE: According to a staff editorial in the February 8 Minneapolis
Star Tribune, another endangered species is the White Pine.A 1913 botanical reference book describes
the typical White Pine (Pinus strobus) as being 225 feet tall, and about
33 feet around the trunk—leaving a stump 10 and a half feet across.In 1980, the Minnesota D.N.R. published a
pamphlet describing the biggest trees in Minnesota and in the U.S.A.The largest remaining White Pine in the
entire state of Minnesota is part of a puny remnant of the magnificent Ahnishinahbæótjibway
old-growth forests which were once here—in Sec. 16-143-36 at Itasca Park.This D.N.R.-proclaimed “champion” tree is
about 4½ feet in diameter, and only 112 feet tall.After more than a century of corporate welfare granted to the
logging companies, the largest White Pine remaining in the entire United States
is a dwarf and a runt, less than half the size of the typical tree at the turn
of the century: a “record-making” tree in Maine which is 5.8 feet in diameter,
and only 147 feet tall.
Rather than scrutinizing their own history, including the U.S. Government’s using
guns and violence to give away the Aboriginal Indigenous peoples’ land and
resources (which kept the U.S. budget balanced for a century—in 1890 there was
a multi-million dollar budget surplus resulting from the sale of White Pine and
unallotted Aboriginal land), the Star Tribune quotes un-named sources
blaming hungry deer for devouring the White Pine, writing that deer are
attracted to the “soft, silky needles ... like bees to flowers.”The ecology is has been plundered to the
point that it’s totally out of balance, and the vast cedar swamps where the
deer herds used to winter are a vanished ecosystem, either logged off or
flooded into extinction by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other “water
management” agencies under the immigrant Western Europeans’ apartheid
administration.The deer herds are no
longer balanced, as they are supposed to be, by wolves, and if hungry deer
nibble on White Pine, it’s because they don’t have anything else to eat—their
natural food supply is gone.A
moratorium on cutting White Pines is a very good idea—they should have done it
a hundred years ago, before the ecosystem was destroyed ... they should put a
moratorium on their greed at the same time.Forests are not a renewable resource, and the Ahnishinahbæótjibway’s
permacultural base and beautiful old-growth forests were a completely different
thing than the ugly caricature and ecological farce of “tree farms,” which are
not forests at all.Translating crooked
English, Western European “resource management” really means “subsidizing the
rich” and “managing to destroy everything.”

PRECINCT CAUCUSES: The Presidential hopefuls, perennial candidates and
Rushist clowns have been providing comic relief in the Iowa winter for the past
several months, self-righteously promoting volatile and contradictory issues
(such as abortion and teen-age pregnancies), attacking the nuclear family and
creating public frenzy for the media poll-cats who specialize in “interpreting”
[molding] public opinion.Webster’s
dictionary defines “polled” as “with the wool, hair, etc., cut off or trimmed,”
but it’s more like fleecing the flock and pulling the wool over their eyes.

ACHY BREAKY HEART: When Ed Gheen of Wisconsin was arrested for his
violent crimes, he told the sheriff, “Aw, have a heart.”
On Valentine’s day, did Cupid put an arrow in your heart?Caveat emptor.Be good, and if you can’t be good, be
careful.

Abstract: “Hey, Chief!”“Hey ...

you make a fire by rubbing two sticks together ... do you use smoke-signals?
... How much wampum you got?... You
smokum peace-pipe? ... You got-um fat squaw? ... “These are all stereotypes and projections which promote the
mythological identity of “Indian.”
It wasn’t too long ago that the professional Indians in Minneapolis got
national media attention by speaking against the racist mascots of the
big-league sports teams, as well as of the schools.Now these professional Indians have a new theme, “save the Indian
culture.”Bleeding-heart White liberals
[another stereotype] are riding shotgun for the Big-Bucks Indians who make a
living promoting the Indian images of the moment: save the Chippewa language;
shake-the-sweat-lodge shamans; and Wellstone and Inouye’s cult of Indian
Religion.The crooked Treaties of the
last century excluded the Aboriginal Indigenous people—the only religion at the
Treaty meetings was Judeo-Christianity.Friend-of-the-Indian Bishops prayed over the Treaty participants and
their stereotypes, and then they began preying on the Aboriginal Indigenous
people, and the Good Christians haven’t stopped.The Indian Freedom of Religion Act legislation currently under
consideration by the United States Senate is one more attempt to unilaterally
draw the Aboriginal Indigenous people under the jurisdiction of racist Roman
Law and Judeo-Christianity.
During the mascot-stereotype protests at the Hubert Humphrey stadium, B.I.A.
Big Chief Earl “Vouchers” Barlow sat in a skybox doing the Tomahawk chop, while
the other Wanna-be Indian leaders used the Atlanta Braves’ Indian symbols to
feather their own nests, and these clowns also dressed up as caricatured
painted, beaded and feathered Indians for the national media.The National Indian Leaders were not
addressing the needs of the people in the Red Ghettos—they were following the
agenda of the National Council of Churches and the other people who were funding
them, promoting racism and scapegoating so that their exalted leaders would
retain their position in the hierarchy.
The reality of U.S. history is that the Euro-Americans have all but destroyed
the Aboriginal Indigenous cultures of these two continents, and what is being
promoted is now as “Chippewa” is a White man’s re-interpretation which has
nothing to do with the Ahnishinahbæótjibway.The Indian stereotypes which are being so
obligingly portrayed by Wanna-Be Indians insulate the people of the mainstream
immigrant culture from facing the heinous genocide of more than a billion
Aboriginal Indigenous people, and the other atrocities of Western European
civilization.When a White Wanna-be
gets a racist, stereotypical question like, “can you make it rain,” that
Wanna-be takes it as a compliment, “I’ve finally arrived, because that [other]
White person thinks I’m an real Indian.”These Wanna-be Indians are the ones who actively promote degrading and
demeaning stereotypes of Aboriginal Indigenous people.The Wanna-be’s who so desperately crave the
artificial identity of Indian may not realize that all stereotypes—no matter
how complimentary they may seem—have another side, and provide an easy avenue
for scapegoating, etc.Stereotyping and
labelling also make it almost impossible to deal with the underlying causes of
the racism that they portray.
The narrow world-view of which Roman Law is a part, depends on an artificial
hierarchy sustained by self-serving illusions like scapegoating and
stereotyping.The world has reached the
point where we can no longer afford to waste the human resources which are
destroyed by racism, stereotyping, and other vicious illusions.Whether it’s nappy-headed papooses eating
watermelons, Amos ‘n Andy, drug-dealer gangsters or Ten Little Indians, the
time has come to trash these obsolete stereotypes.If racism and other hierarchical insults make you feel good—take
a long look in the mirror, you should really have a good laugh.RED LAKE SCHOOL BUCKS:
According to the Sunday, July 17, Bemidji Pioneer, there are only fourteen
“taxpayers” on the Red Lake Reservation, and they all live in Redby.The article quotes Superintendent Schmidt,
“We have to rely on state and federal funding.The impact aid supplements the state aid we receive.The idea behind the funding is that it is
designed for Indian reservations because of no tax base.”This sounds like pork barrel, doesn’t it?Someone slopping at the public trough, and
all of those lazy Indians are on welfare, eh?
Well ... who gets the high-paying jobs?Hey, who gets the contracts and sub-contracts them out at a big
profit?Since the Treaties, compulsory
Indian school-education has provided lucrative jobs for the White community,
paid for out of Aboriginal Indigenous peoples resources.Where are the billions of dollars of
supposed “Indian money?”Where is it
actually spent?Would the town whose
mascot is the original ecocidal resource thief and his Big Blue Ox (and that
other wooden Indian down the block, shading his eyes looking for graft and
hand-outs) have any economic base, not to mention a “tax base,” if it were not
for Ahnishinahbæótjibway land and natural resources?
There is a certain in-group of Whites who are using Indians as a get-rich-quick
economic system.As wards of the
government under Trusteeship, Indians have no political clout, and have always
been exploited by unscrupulous Whites.The latest shakedown about Red Lake School funding obscures the real
issue, which is compulsory school education as child-abuse, again.The “good students” at the Red Lake Schools
are being trained to be pow-wow Indian mascots for the White man, drumming up
business for the tourist industry and the rest of the regional White
infrastructure.Can you imagine what
will happen to one of these kids when they try to apply for a real job at a big
corporation, and they have to fill out their resume: “I speakum Chippewa ...
wear feathers and heap-many beads and do-um pow-wow dancing ... Ugh, me
Indian!”According to the grapevine,
the programs which are going to get cut in the recent “budget crunch” are the
ones which actually give the kids access to some real job skills:
transportation outside the red-lined I.S.D. 38 into the “white” schools, and
vocational education like welding and mechanics, which gives the students
self-esteem and incentive to take on more responsibility, including continuing
their education.
To all of you people who are hollering about the tax base and the “welfare
mothers,” let’s have a Constitutional Amendment, to repeal the provisions that
your White racist Founding Fathers wrote about “Indians not taxed”—and thereby
without representation or Constitutional rights.I’ll bet that the people who predictably raise the issues of
“taxes” and “welfare mothers” every election, won’t get off their dead asses to
help make a level playing field, where everybody has an equal chance to steal
the Aboriginal Indigenous peoples’ wealth, and shares the illusion of the
elusive pursuit of happiness.
To the Lakota woman who called me Sunday:Thank you for the encouragement, but I can’t speak for you.There are people in your community who can,
and must, write your own history, and your own present perspective.If the Whites and the Wanna-be’s try to
assimilate into Aboriginal Indigenous culture, more than likely they’ll become
better people, and show more responsibility for Grandmother Earth.The problems come when “outsiders” try to
act like Indians, who don’t know anything about the Aboriginal Indigenous
people, either.

Abstract: Honest Injun!Former
Commissioner of Indian Affairs John Collier, who helped design the 1934 I.R.A.
which is the foundation of the present Indian Tribal Governments, described the
so-called “breeds” and the Wanna-be’s who call themselves Indians and were
created and written into the 1934 I.R.A. boilerplate by the U.S. Congress.Because of their greed, Collier said that
his Indians had a “white-plus psychology,” and worse.These White-Plus Indians were given their mythological cheating identity
by the White U.S. Government and its subsidiary bureaucracy the B.I.A., so they
could be passed off as the Aboriginal Indigenous People of this Continent.But, these Federally Recognized Indians are
really Europeans who are ashamed of their White identity and where they came
from.They are using the facade of
“Indians” to hide their history and disassociate from their past so that they
and their masters can continue to steal.
According to news releases, on August 17, U.S. Attorney David Lillehaug
announced that State Senator Harold “Skip” Finn and his cohort, Myron F. Ellis,
have been charged with Federal Crimes.Stealing from the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe is apparently not a State
crime, so “Skip” Humphrey did not bring himself into the case brandishing
Public Law 280.“Skip” Finn wrote a
letter published in the August 22 Bemidji Pioneer, explaining that “fictitious
invoices had been requested by and approved by the [fictitious] Reservation
Tribal Council,” meaning that his confessed “misapplication of tribal funds” is
business as usual: stealing.The Indian
identity was designed by the Euro-Americans for the purpose of stealing (in the
Ahnishinahbæótjibway language, there is no word for
Indian—it’s a White European term), and if the Attorney General’s office is
going to indict “Skip” Finn, they had better start indicting all of the Indians
who are posing as Aboriginal Indigenous People, because they are all in
complicity with stealing.The United
States Government is using their Indians, who they created, to justify their
theft of the land and resources, and to hide their atrocities, their holocaust
of the Aboriginal Indigenous People, and their rape of this Ahnishinahbæótjibway
land.GAMBLING AND CASINOS: The Monday, August 22, Star Tribune published an
article about Indian Casinos by staffwriter Josephine Marcotty.I tried to contact Rick Hill, Chairman of
the National Indian Gaming Association at (202) 546-7711, about some of the
comments he was quoted as making, although the rregulators of Indian Gambling
are in Congress.NIGA did not return my
call.Rick Hill was quoted as saying,
“white people do not have a monopoly on smarts,” and “sophistication is coming
because of the dollars.The money
controls everything but religious freedom.”[He did not mention the Christians’ collection plates.]But, Rick Hill was given an identity as an
Oneida Indian.Rick Hill is not saying
how smart the White people are, who have defined him as an Oneida Indian, and
who gave him an Indian identity.
The White people also gave him Indian Gaming—and the White people run that,
too.We called one of the Casinos,
trying to get the telephone number for the regulators of Indian Gaming, and
nobody in the vast Casino bureaucracy the operator shuffled us through, would
admit who was in charge, that there was such an agency as NIGA, or where their
regulatory agencies were.I suppose
that they have to wait for orders from their bosses in Washington to tell
anybody anything.
Rick Hill is also quoted as talking about “some” Oneida treaty, which, like all
Indian Treaties, was made by White people signing Treaties with White
people.Who has the smarts?Rick Hill wants to get some money for the
land, but the White man is so smart he’s the one who prints the money, and he’s
going to keep the land.Mr. Hill, who
has a White identity and unquestioningly takes orders from his White employers
[slavery], is complaining about “White people” being “trespassers.”Rick Hill is a White man’s Indian, a broker
and a trespasser who doesn’t belong here, either.What is it about White culture that makes White people run away
from their patrilineal heritage and want to take on a different identity, even
a shabby cheap imitation caricature like that of Wanna-Be Indian?DRUGS AND TAXABLE CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES:Hubert “Skip” Humphrey III and his co-plaintiff Blue Cross Blue
Shield are going after a big shake-down, of the tobacco industry—which because
of corporate mergers, includes one of the biggest food-processing companies in
the world.But, H.H.H. III is biting
the hand that feeds him—going after the tobacco companies on a State of
Minnesota salary is a conflict of interest.The State of Minnesota collects millions of dollars a year in tobacco
taxes, sales taxes on tobacco products, etc.Scapegoating tobacco, which makes a hefty involuntary contribution to the
budget of “Skip” Humphrey, his staff and his pork, is mis-representing the
problem.If he wants the tobacco
industry to subsidize the Clinton Health Plan, why not spread the
responsibility fairly, and go after the alcohol industry?What about the costly medical care for all
of the people injured in automobile accidents—the only cigarettes that
contributed to this extremely costly medical expense are “funny cigarettes”—and
the Attorney General doesn’t have the guts to go collect the Minnesota State
Marijuana Taxes, which are flagrantly evaded.By neglecting the Marijuana Tax collection duties mandated by the
Legislature, “Skip” is promoting funny cigarettes at the same time as he’s
condemning tobacco.State of Minnesota
Law Enforcement personnel are presently collecting the Marijuana Tax under the
table, in the form of confiscated vehicles and personal property, and through
the court system.If “Skip” collected
the Marijuana Tax up-front and above-board, a significant percentage of the
graft in the State of Minnesota would be eliminated, and the burden of health
care would be distributed more evenly.Eliminate hypocrisy—tax them all.Closing the drug-tax loophole, which benefits only certain
law-enforcement groups, would go a long way toward paying off the deficit.But, when the federal unemployment
statistics are compiled, is all drug-pushing counted as full employment, is it
part-time employment, or are only the legally-approved dealers counted?CLINTON’S CRIME BILL:The crime
bill that Clinton proposes has nothing to do with making the streets safer, or
protecting people in their homes.The
Clinton Crime Bill is a publicly subsidized campaign for re-election: creating
jobs for police officers, improving business for gun and ammunition
manufacturers, and entrenching the American Police State that nobody talks
about.The Health Care Bill is an
integral part of the Clinton Crime Bill—the people who get gunshot wounds in
the festering class warfare of Urban America usually do not have medical
insurance.In fact, the levels of crime
in the cities has nothing to do with the number of policemen—one could make
everybody a uniformed policeman with a badge and a gun, and the crime rate
would just keep on escalating (go ask the people who have received Rodney King
police protection, or better yet, ask Mike Sauro).Clinton’s Crime Bill is criminal because it promotes the deadly
game of cops-and-robbers being played across the country, echoed in T.V.
violence, and entrenches the G-Man-and-Mafia cult of violence which is one of
the underlying problems.The imported
Euro-American value system depends on this violence: it is part of the
infrastructure of their hierarchical Western European language, their songs,
and their culture.
They used to say, “crime does not pay,” but it does.Both sides are filled with greed.The crooks and criminals who are elected to office, are the ones
who define the petty criminals in the streets, and give them their abusive
identities as crooks, hoods, kingpins and gangsters.Their constituents deserve to live in fear—they got what they
voted for, and apparently did not question the demo-publican propaganda that
was spoon-fed to them.In layman’s
terms, Euro-American democracy is called “fleecing the flock, and pulling the
wool over their eyes.”MORE PORK: Thanks to the legislators who passed the Clean Air Act.The hot-air politicians who are using
taxpayer dollars to campaign for re-election are using sleight-of-hand to clear
the air (but not the smell), and now we can all breathe Congressionally-approved,
Federally-inspected Western-European-style Clean Air, delicately scented with
Federally-safe levels of “particulate matter,” hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide,
etc., etc.Cough, cough, ... choke,
choke ... gasp, gasp ... a third-world rattle.

Nation (We, the People): In the June elections at White Earth, held when
Wadena’s four-year term was already out, Bugger McArthur won the contest ... Native
American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: In the June elections at White Earth, held when Wadena’s four-year
term was already out, Bugger McArthur won the contest for I.R.A. tribal
chairman.According to the constitution
of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, Inc., the legal term of office is four years,
not four years and a day, or four years and a week—so, after the election,
Wadena was out, he had no business hanging around the tribal offices.If they wanted a transition period, they
should have held the elections a month earlier.
Since taking office, Bugger has been a center of controversy, and many wanna-be
candidates and sore losers are crying “foul ball,” and want a new
election.It appears that some of them
want to get their sticky fingers into the coffers.Chairman of the Sour Grapes Committee Chip Wadena has been
complaining vigorously—he and his pals need to go to Camp Justice and spend the
next four years having protests, signing petitions and sucking eggs.Skip Finn said that the Indians are like
“crabs in the bottom of a bucket,” when one almost gets to the top, everyone
else drags him back into the bottom.The White man owns the I.R.A. Indian tribal councils, created the Indian
identity in his image of Machiavelli, and made back-biting and back-stabbing a
part of the Indian culture.To the
newly elected Tribal Chairman—watch out for crooked arrows in your back.If Jesus Christ came back and won as White
Earth Tribal Chairman, there would be people at Camp Justice still
hollering that it was a crooked election... they’d probably nail Him to the
cross again.Hmmm

HONEST BOB: According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the GOP
Candidate “Reveals Economic Plan.”One
of the rules of thumb in politics is that when you’re behind in the polls, you
always promise the electorate a tax break.This sounds like one of the planks in Malcolm Forbe’s platform.But then, come to think of it, Reagan and
just about every other politician has used the old trick of buying people’s
votes with their own money, including Clinton.On one hand, they give you a tax break, but watch the other hand—the
Federal Reserve takes twice as much away with inflation.Inflation steals from everybody, and putting
the money you save on “welfare reform” into more cops on the street is an
oxymoron.If they want to really solve
social problems and address crime, why aren’t they arresting the guys on the
Federal Reserve Board, who have their hands in everybody’s pocket.Inflation has been stealing from you for
years, and nobody says a damn’ thing.I
wonder if this is because the American public is into S&M?Wait until Ears gets a hold of this newest
rehash of a tired old economic plan.Would you buy a car from “Honest Bob.”

BOUNDARY WATERS MOTORIZED AREA: Part of the “American Dream” is
progress—destroying the old to make room for the new.Other parts of this dream are a “high standard of living” (lots
of material goods and recreation), and always remaining youthful (never growing
up).The Chosen People have been able
to purchase ATV’s, motorboats, snowmobiles, airplanes... and now they want to
really “have it all,” and come into the very last bit of relatively undamaged
nature with their high-powered, noisy and ecologically destructive toys.Because of the American emphasis on
remaining “forever young,” they may not see themselves as they react in a very
juvenile way, throwing tantrums as they drive through a fragile ecosystem with
their new toys, wrecking it.They’re
just like bullies in a schoolyard.After these spoiled brats’ toys damage the “pristine” nature of the
B.W.C.A., skidders are not too far behind them, ready to engage in “multiple
use,” flatten everything in 40 acres as they turn around, and load up the
clearcut so the good ol’ boys can make money.Why not make the people who are making the decisions accountable for the
consequences, instead of letting them hide behind the faceless bureaucracies,
acronyms and organizations.For
posterity, why not publish the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all
the people who want to destroy the Boundary Waters, as well as of those who
want to save it.
In Northern Minnesota, Paul Bunyan was the first eco-terrorist—and he’s become
an icon and a culture-hero.Many people
get their picture taken at the Bemidji monument to Paul Bunyan.In the nearly lost oral history of the local
lumberjacks and wood-butchers, there is a previously unpublished story about Paul
Bunyan when he was in his logging camp.It seems, he needed to hire some cheap labor to help him clearcut.So, he hired a boatload of immigrants from
Egypt and North Africa who had just crossed the Atlantic.(These guys all looked like “Indians,” so
they fit right in.)When Paul was
interviewing these job applicants, he asked them where they were from, and if
they knew how to cut trees.They told
him that they came from the Sahara Forest.Paul scratched his head, and then asked, “you mean the Sahara
Desert?”They replied, “that’s what
they call it now.”So Paul Bunyan hired
the whole boatload on the spot.Now,
the aboriginal ecosystems, with natural forests and plentiful fish, are
gone.The tree farms that are
“replacing” them are not in balance or harmony—since they cut the forests down,
there are only a few fish left in the lakes.

Notes: INDIAN TAXES, AGAIN: In Wednesday, June 18, staffwriter Pat Doyle
published an article in the Minneapolis Star Tribune.According to the article, headlined “County
to get a fraction of its request from tribe,” the Scott County board has
“settled” for only two hundred thousand dollars a year from the Shakopee Sioux
to pay for “road maintenance, law-enforcement and court costs related to
the casino in Prior Lake.”Is this an
exclusionary rule, or is it an inclusionary one?Is Scott County trying to tax the Sioux, is this an insurance
policy, or is this just a plain old shakedown?

law, and that no group of people should have special privileges.But, then again, that’s not how the U.S.
Constitution (or the Declaration of Independence) reads.Both in the fourteenth amendment, section 2,
and in Article I, Section 2, Subsection 3, the U.S. Constitution clearly says,
“excluding Indians not taxed.”They put
it there twice, so that you wouldn’t forget it.The Bureau of Indian Affairs has spent years (ever since a few
Indians finally became literate) trying to put spin on this clause, telling
people (with a straight face and tongue in cheek) that this part of the U.S.
Constitution means “sovereignty.”But,
the Founding Fathers referred to “merciless Indian savages” in their
Declaration of Independence, so I doubt that they had “sovereignty” in mind,
not even the “limited sovereignty” of “domestic dependent nations” (no matter
how the BIA defines these crooked, ambiguous words).What this slippery English, “excluding Indians not taxed,” really
means, is not including Indians under the protections of the U.S. Federal
Constitution—that Indians are Constitutionally prohibited from owning land or
having representation in the U.S. Government.
Bud Grant is talking about a “level playing field,” but he’s not dealing with
the facts.Bud Grant has probably been
out in the sun, fishing, too long, and he’s only thinking about hooking
suckers.Perhaps the time has come to
repeal this little clause in the U.S. Constitution, especially now that
President Clinton wants to address racism, or else to amend the Constitution,
and to change the “ex” to “in.”But,
then again, instead of calling the Great White Fathers racist or apartheid, a
person could give them the benefit of the doubt, and call this devious little
phrase a “typo.”
I don’t know what the Scott County Commissioners are complaining about.If they want to treat the Indians just like
everybody else, instead of having the Indians pay special fees, they should
just negotiate an in-lieu-of-property tax settlement.To be fair, they could charge the Indians: the Scott County rate
on the price that the White man claims to have paid for the land, from “the
Indians.”they used their own
assessment of the price of the land, when they said they were paying for it, Scott
County wouldn’t be entitled to one red penny from the “red man.”They wouldn’t get anything, because even ten
percent of nothing, still comes out zero.POLITICKING: In the last election, President Clinton’s campaign slogan
was “building bridges to the twenty-first century.”I guess that a lot of people wanted to be bridge-builders,
because he got elected.But, Clinton
and the Democratic Party didn’t let you in on the full details: that these are
toll bridges, that they want to build.You have to pay to get on, and you have to pay to get off.
On the other side of the aisle, Newt Gingrich has been censured by his
colleagues—but he still has ambitions to become President.He wants to forget about his shady past, his
money-making schemes and good ol’ boy deals.Bob Dole, who was defeated, has paid Newt’s fine, so Newt is hoping to
start his Presidential campaign with a clean slate.His new campaign slogan will be, “burning bridges.”
Tony Blair, the British Prime Minister who recently got elected into Parliament,
his campaign slogan doesn’t make much sense.His slogan was, “radical center.”It got him elected, but does anybody know what it means, besides
bamboozling people with socialist pork, or maybe just empty words?FLOODGATES: The Army Corps of Engineers’ floodgates at the top of the
Red River watershed are bulging at the seams.I suppose they’re waiting for a drought, so that the sugar beet growers
down in the floodplain will have water for irrigation.But, there are other gates.
Twenty five years ago, Watergate was in the news.The White House “plumbers” were trying to close the gates for the
twenty-first century.Since then, there
have been a lot of other “gates” in this supposedly open society.There was Iran-gate, and there was
Whitewater-gate.There’s Finn-gate, and
then there’s Bill Gates.Just recently,
there was Heaven’s Gate.In
Minneapolis, developers are talking about building “Gated Communities” to
protect the opulent from the unwashed masses ... and then you have prison
gates.Last but not least, there’s San
Francisco’s Golden Gate.Have a good
day.

News.
Abstract: Many of the blue-blood and the supposedly (self-proclaimed)
upper-crust “old families” who immigrated to the land they call America, did
not come here voluntarily.For more
than a century, their “Mother Country,” England, emptied her prisons into the
colonies as “indentured” (white slave) labor.Fidel Castro is using an old Colonial trick when he sends convicts to
the U.S. as “refugees”—as many of the people who are complaining about
“undesirable elements” would know if they researched their own genealogies.
Ever since the first European immigrants came here, crime has been a big
problem on this Continent.Jail-building, dungeons and prisons have been a part of Western Culture
for millennia—as if locking people up solves the symptoms of unbalanced social
hierarchy, cultural disharmony and ruined ecology (which are the reasons the
people who call themselves Euro-Americans left their homeland).The Western Europeans seem incapable of
looking at themselves, their violent values, their culture which emphasizes
slavery and power over others, and their language which molds their
behavior.The “crime problem” which
plagues the United States has very little to do with the “criminals” who are
being incarcerated in ever-increasing numbers.“Crime” is an economic system in which the “good guys” make a lot more
money than the “bad guys.”Western
Civilization uses the dramatic illusion, “the Good Guy vs. the Bad Guy” to
obscure reality: the “good guy” creates the problems, and the “bad guy” just follows
self-destructive scripts learned in school and on television.The “good guys” [good ol’ boys] are
pathologically greedy, and are fostering a “criminal culture” which fills their
pocketbooks.The “good guys” and the
(relatively powerless) “bad guys” are enabling each other in a closed system
which needs them both, using their abusive European social infrastructure, and
the victims are the ones who are getting ripped off.Instead of abusing the crime victims a second time by levying
high taxes to build more jails: if the State upheld their contract to provide a
secure society with the tax dollars they take in, and compensated crime victims
whom they failed to protect, the crime rates would fall dramatically.Using “high crime rates” to justify building
more dungeons and hiring more police, is criminal—a positive feedback loop [a
good analogy is connecting a thermostat backwards—the hotter it gets, the more
the furnace runs] and a round-robin, and will only make the crime problems
worse, although in entrenches the class system and builds the infrastructure
for an increasingly repressive police state.The “good guy” is making big bucks off of both the “bad guy” and the
victim—and if the Goddess of Justice took of her blindfold, most of the
so-called “good guys” would be in jail, too.From this perspective, it seems as though the foreign Goddess of Justice
is not only blind, she is also deaf and dumb.
Western social structure depends on destroying the community and the family,
replacing them with the patriarchal State.Abusing peoples’ family natural ties, and manipulating them into
transferring their loyalty to the abstract pseudo-families of the State and the
Corporation is a big part of what holds so-called “modern society”
together—this perverted strategy of enslavement is built into the English
language and Judeo-Christianity, and is reinforced by the compulsory-education
system and “social welfare” programs (the Indian Child Welfare Act is a good
example).The leaders’ repetitive
hollering of the NewSpeak slogans, “freedom” and “democracy,” is a clear
indication of slavery and societal pathology.If there wasn’t something seriously wrong, they wouldn’t need to waste
hot air.INDIAN LAW: At the conclusion of
the Mille Lacs Treaty Trial, Bud Grant and the Resort landowners objected to
the Judge Murphy’s decision, asking why there separate laws for
special-interest groups, saying “why can’t we all live under one law?”The tricky part is that when the Euro-Americans
created the Indian, they created them under White law.The “Indian laws” are really White laws—they
are Western European apartheid which has absolutely nothing to do with
Aboriginal law.For your information, “Indian
law,” when applied to Aboriginal people, is a human rights violation.Putting the Indians, and the White/Indian
law that goes with them, on Ahnishinahbæótjibway land is also
a human rights violation.Renaming the
Aboriginal people and trying to turn us into “Indians,” so that the
Euro-Americans can use their foreign Indian law on us, is also a symptom of the
massive genocide of the Aboriginal people on this Continent, and part of the
on-going cover-up.
“Upholding the Broken Treaties” is an euphemism for re-entrenching the
Euro-Americans’ fraudulent claims to the land they have stolen, and a cynical
denial of full responsibility for the ecologies which have been
demolished.The White Wanna-Be Indians
who continually cry “Broken Treaties” are just following orders, so that they
can stay on the payroll.The political
leaders who advocate “upholding the [White man’s] Treaties” know full well that
these so-called “Treaties” are dishonest, one-sided documents.The policy-makers are trying to get one step
ahead of the time when the Circle inevitably comes around, telling carefully calculated
half-lies to manipulate the White immigrants’ guilt for their own ends.
The Indians keep referring to the “Great White Father” in the Treaties.This semi-metaphorical, foreign, pale prick
is the Indians’ father (who abandoned his illegitimate children and had
somebody else support them, using Aboriginal resources).I am not an Indian, and this White man is
not my father.FOUL BALL: Baseball is no longer the national pastime.One of the staples of television is re-runs,
like “Leave it to Beaver” and other hits from the 1950’s.As long as the professional baseball players
are on strike, the Networks should air re-runs of the old World Series (which
are a lot better than modern baseball, anyway).

Nation (We, the People): “Mille Lacs Chippewa snare a fish and game victory,
but waters will remain muddy for a while in treaty dispute,” ... Native
American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: “Mille Lacs Chippewa snare a fish and game victory, but waters will
remain muddy for a while in treaty dispute,” according to the Minneapolis Star
Tribune headline on September 4—but the Indian treaties have always been a
muddy issue.These so-called treaties
were unilaterally made by Euro-Americans in the nineteenth century, and the
State of Minnesota, the United States Government and Judge Murphy put on their
Indian feathers and beat their own drums, and re-affirmed the treaty among themselves,
again.The Western Europeans are
re-enacting their classical Indian Treaty melodrama, recasting their
mythological Wild West caricatures in judicial robes and Federally-licensed
feathers, trying yet another time to revise their sordid history and legitimize
their crimes through symbolic “magic,” transparent White acting and typical
tall tale re-runs.They are wasting
millions of taxpayer dollars with their carefully-scripted B-Western rigmarole;
instead of “Oscars,” Judge Murphy may be awarded a “golden parachute” and the
proverbial Noble Loser, Bud Grant, should get a golden shower.The Indian Treaties were crooked when they
were written by White Treaty Commissioners in the 1800’s, and bringing them
back into Court compounds the pathological lies, compulsive theft and other
violent “ethics” of Western Civilization, which were inherent in the Indian
treaties from the very beginning.The
media reports focus on the so-called Indians (who are wards of the U.S.
Government under the plenary control of White trusteeship) taking half the
meager fish stocks—which have been depleted by White over-fishing,
deforestation, pollution and the European immigrants’ re-creating their
plundered homelands in “the New Country.”Newspaper articles explain the Treaty court decision as “the Indians get
half” and the sports-fishermen get half, but the Indians were created and are
owned by the White man and he gave them an identity, so the White man gets 102%
of everything, including the Treaty, and the Indians lose everything they had,
which was already nothing except for paper Sovereignty owned by the U.S.
Secretary of the Interior, 1934 I.R.A. Tribally-Acclaimed Royalty, and a shabby
identity created by pulp fiction writers.
The White United States Constitution contains the clause, “Indians not taxed,”
and therefore defines Indians as economic non-persons without representation or
political voice.The hypothetical
Indian identity was created to provide the Western European status quo with
scapegoats and political hockey-pucks.The State of Minnesota intends to use the illusory Bud-Grant-backlash,
which has all the hallmarks of a smoke-free back-room deal, both to
“authenticate” the Treaty and to bring public opinion to a fever-pitch so they
can take their cut in the Indian Casinos—which are already owned and controlled
by the White man (pretty slick, huh).The Star Tribune pundit writes that the French Feudal Indians will be
allowed by their White puppet-masters to “sustain a modest standard of living”
from combined fishing and casino income, and ignores the black Moorish and
other impoverished and disenfranchised Wanna-be’s who are not part of the
“Indian” in-group circle.“LILY-WHITE FAMILY VALUES”: According to media reports, on Thursday,
September 8, Dan Quayle told the silver-spoon Commonwealth Club, “Our poverty
of values spares no group.... The pop
philosophy of the 1960s—’all truths are relative,’ has taken root, and it is
bearing bitter fruit.The ills we
sometimes attribute to welfare queens and deadbeat dads are actually
manifestations of an ethical cancer that has metastasized through all levels of
society.”Quayle’s speech was an open
admission of “ethical chaos,” lack of good role models, and absentee fatherhood
throughout the world’s “democratic” societies, but he did not touch the deeper
issues or the root causes of the problems he identifies as lack of “family
values.”Quayle did not mention the
archetypes of Welfare Queens: Queen Isabella and the Queen Mum of England,
whose family has been on welfare for five hundred years; and also including Dan
Quayle, who is a bona fide welfare recipient living off of Aboriginal
resources, and cheap labor violently extracted from people of color.
Quayle criticized “absentee fathers” and “fatherless children,” but he did not
make an offer to share this Country’s plundered wealth and status.Nobody mentions the White “Squaw Men” who
walked away from their families and forced their own children to become
non-person Indians.Quayle’s
self-righteous discussions of “fatherhood” also ignore the children left by
military occupation, the genetic engineering of Western Civilization, and the
polygamous White fathers who disinherited their darker children and sold them
into slavery.Where are the good role
models for the Euro-Americans?The
Great White Fathers have always been a rip-off role model.Western Civilization lost its family values
two thousand years ago, and there is no community, nor even an English-language
word which means “community.”The
people who call themselves “Americans” are running from their past; denying
their origins, their roots and their real identity.
The candidates for Governor in Minnesota are pontificating on social problems
from an even shallower perspective: stump-speaking on the same old worn-out
self-serving non-issues of abortion, welfare mothers, assault weapons, ad
nauseam.These politicians, and their
professional party-machine constituency have become a closed circle of
narcissistic vested interests, wooing and seducing each other, and then
pocketing the taxpayer-funded gravy from the social-services pork barrel.The problems they identify have very little
do to with the real issues, and the solutions they legislate are regurgitated
redundancies which did not address the problems thirty years ago, and still do
nothing more than generate civil service jobs for faithful political hacks,
lavish government contracts for campaign contributors, and create bashable
abstract red herrings while maintaining slush funds.POLITICAL CANONS: The media is in an uproar about Tony Bouza suggesting
that people turn in their handguns (and keep their shotguns), and political
analysts are prognosticating political suicide—that Bouza shot himself in the
foot and although he did not lose any hot air, he is said to have lost the
support of the heavily-armed Iron Rangers.
The Biggest Crime of the Year is the O.J. Simpson case, and guess what, two
murders were committed with a knife.It
must have been a high-powered automatic knife, that the second murder was committed;
but no hand-gun was used.The only
firearms involved were in the possession of the police who arrested O.J.
The second crime which has received much media attention was the Rodney King
case.Rodney King suffered physical and
psychological damages, and is scarred for life.Drawn guns were used to arrest him, but he was beaten violently
with clubs.
The violence upon which America was founded has gotten out of hand, and the
people who call themselves “Americans” have no leaders with the guts or the will
to address the real problems.You, the
People, are deluding yourselves by echoing political platitudes like
“regulating, registering and confiscating guns,” and scapegoating Welfare
Mothers.The violence which is blasting
America comes from Euro-American history, the English language, Judeo-Christian
values, and a hierarchical social structure in which the people who should be
solving the problems passively allow themselves to be lied to and misled by
political leaders who enrich themselves and their close constituency by
maintaining violence, ignoring the real problems and making big bucks.The rich and striving-to-be-rich are
deluding themselves that money can buy “security” and buy time.
Guns were used in the massive genocide committed as a part of stealing this
land, and millions of dollars were made by the Manifestly Destined Peoples’
White manufacturers of firearms in Providence, Connecticut.The Atomic Bomb was used on Japanese cities
to kill millions of non-White civilians and cause incalculable harm to future
generations from radioactivity.Gas
Ovens were used by the Third Reich for “ethnic cleansing,” annihilating
millions of Semitic people, Gypsies and others who were said to be “tainted.”Without Europeans’ and Euro-Americans’
violent values and violent religion: guns, clubs, knives, gas, ovens and atoms
would not be a problem.FEMALE PROBLEMS: Allen Quist says that women have a “genetic
predisposition” which makes them unsuitable for public leadership.More than half of the world’s population is
female, and yet very few women have either a language or an identity which fits
them or belongs to them.Most women
cannot even describe who they are, except in the White man’s patriarchal,
condescending and abusive terms.(If
you don’t believe me, you “chicks” and “old hens” can try to trace your
genealogy on the female line.Very few
can trace their ancestry back to any woman who had a surname of her own.)English is a Creole language and a
pseudo-male language (and English is not my language).English and American English are not pure
languages; they are a hodge-podge of words and grammatical structures taken
from other languages, but redefined by the educated male élite to fit their own
isolating and controlling agenda.The
Aboriginal Indigenous languages here are both male and female, in balance and
harmony with Grandmother Earth and connected to reality.Chippewa and other so-called Indian (Creole)
languages have been mutated into dichotomies and ambiguities which take them
out of balance with Nature and perpetuate the values of violent Western
gun-toting “Civilization;” these Indian languages, like English, are
hierarchical languages which imprison people inside their abstract “station in
life” and make them into slaves.These
artificial, so-called “civilized” languages are structured to make it nearly
impossible for Western Europeans to see outside of their artificial paradigms
and into reality, and also make it very difficult to even think about solving
problems at their root causes (that’s why I used common English-language
colloquial nouns like “chick,” instead of a proper noun, as an example of the
inherent misogyny of English).DARWIN, SPENCER AND NOAH:In response to a reader’s question, I called
a wise old sage who lives in the desert, and said, “there’s much talk about the
dinosaurs in the news.Can you tell me
what happened to the dinosaurs?”He
told me that Noah’s Ark wasn’t big enough, and so God told Noah the dinosaurs
would have to perish.Then, I asked him
about the Hairy Mastodons.He said,
“the Indians came over the Bering Strait, and they ate them up, and then they
went back over the Strait and ate up the ones in Europe, too,” and then, being
a cantankerous old sage, he hung up on me.But, according to the scientists quoted in the media, there was
selective meteor bombardment from outer space which was aimed only at
dinosaurs, so my quandary is paradoxically impaled on the horns of a dilemma.I was also going to ask what
happened to the fire-eating, fire-breathing dragons, but the old sage
apparently felt he had already answered enough questions for one day.Did St. George kill all of the dragons, and
why aren’t there any dragon skeletons on display in the Natural History museums?Why don’t we ever read about paleontologists
searching for dragons?Did
fire-breathing dragons play a part in the deforestation of Europe?

American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: On February 16, 1996, Skip Finn appeared in court with a “Notice of
Motion and Motion to Quash” all fishing expeditions by the U.S. Government on
the Leech Lake Indian Reservation—or at least those regarding 1934 I.R.A. Leech
Lake Band documents related to the Leech Lake Reservation Construction Company,
the Shingobee Inn, and Band-reimbursed legal expenses of Alfred “Tig”
Pemberton, Dan Brown and Harold “Skip” Finn.These Indians’ legal costs are apparently being paid at taxpayer expense
under the Leech Lake Reservation Litigation Expense Reimbursement Ordinance,
Ordinance No. 96-02 of the Leech Lake Band of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe,
operating under the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act (I.R.A.).
The 1934 I.R.A. Constitution of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe contains the
boilerplate I.R.A. provision required by the U.S. Department of the Interior
for “acceptance” of all the I.R.A. constitutions, mandating that almost every
act of any Indian Tribal Council or Reservation Business Committee have the “approval
of the Secretary of the Interior or his authorized representative.”In accord with the centralized-power
philosophy of the 1934 I.R.A. Constitutions, the establishment and operation of
Skip Finn’s Reservation Risk Management, Inc., was presumably approved by the
Secretary of the Interior or his duly authorized representative—and under the
philosophy of Indian Trusteeship, the Secretary of the Interior is also in on
the scam.
The March 16 Motion to Quash is based on Western European concepts of Sovereignty,
describing what they call “Indian sovereignty” as “inherent” and derived from
“retain[ed] ... natural rights.”Either
the authors of the Motion to Quash are trying to steal Ahnishinahbæótjibway
natural rights, or by their logic 99.9% of all U.S. Citizens have such
“inherent ... natural rights” by virtue of their White patrilines and at least
a few non-White (probably African) ancestors somewhere in the distant past of
their mothers’ ancestry.
The authors of the Quashing Motion also base their definition of “Indian
sovereignty” on the “domestic dependent nations” decision of Justice John
Marshall, who wanted to put a “civilized” veneer on the brutality of the
19th-century U.S. genocide and land theft.These shysters also cite “treaties,” without observing that the very
first treaty(The 1785 Wyandot Land
Theft Treaty) in which the U.S. Government dealt with Chippewa Indians—who were
patrilineally White real estate salesmen selling property stolen from the Aboriginal
Indigenous people—provided in Article IX that “If any Indian or Indians shall
commit a robbery or murder on any citizen of the United States, the tribe to
which such offenders may belong, shall be bound to deliver them up at the
nearest post, to be punished according to the ordinances of the United
States.”“Kitchi-ogima” and his band of
renegades are accused of having stolen from U.S. citizens, so if they’re going
to adhere to “treaty law,” they should have already made the trip to Fort
Ripley, and be sitting in the stockade awaiting trial.Skip, if you’re going to be the White man’s
Indian, you might as well play it by the book—none of this half-ass stuff.
In Chippewa linguist Frederic Baraga’s dictionary of the French Creole Chippewa
language, sovereign is translated as kitchi-ogima, which is a
joke in any language, and has nothing to do with the egalitarian Aboriginal
Indigenous people of this land.The
only word fifth columnist Baraga records relating to title is ondenindiwin,
which he translates ambiguously as “title of condemnation” in the English side
of the dictionary, and as “anger for such a reason, cause of anger,” or under
another hierarchical conjugation as “I have had feelings, revengeful thoughts,
against him...” in the Chippewa part.None of this has anything to do with the deep and inalienable Ahnishinahbæótjibway
connection to the land.The “Indian
Sovereignty,” “domestic dependent nations,” ad nauseam that Harold
“Skip” Finn, et al. claim in their Motion to Quash has absolutely
nothing to do with the Aboriginal Indigenous people that “Skip” Finn and the
other White Chippewas are pretending to be.“Indian sovereignty” is something like affirmative action—in both of
them the White man keeps control of his system, and uses token bucks to make
big bucks.
Case No. 5-95-12 is a strange case: the victims from whom the defendants are
accused of having stolen are banding together with the defendants to thwart
prompt administration of White Collar “justice.”“Indians” are a good racket for the entrenched D.F.L.
establishment and their cronies and cohorts, and if the prosecution went
forward to its logical conclusion and terminated the Minnesota Chippewas, the
White man would get hurt worse than the “Indians” because it’s the Whites who
get the good-paying political patronage jobs in Indian affairs (the “Indians”
just get a fake identity and a Wanna-be lifestyle wearing feathers and beads).
The United States Government’s fishing expedition into “sovereign” Leech Lake
waters wanted to look at documents “that relate to a purported study conducted
by the Band concerning the disparity in treatment of Indians by Beltrami County
Judges.”What if the average Leech Lake
enrollee were to claim “Indian sovereignty” as a defense for any petty violation
of the White man’s law.If the judge
asked him, “how do you plead,” and the Indian said, “I am sovereign,” the
Indian would also be up for manslaughter, because the judge would fall off his
chair and die laughing.So much for
Indian Sovereignty.

LOOSE BU-KANNON:Patrick
Buchanan is becoming the leading candidate in the Republican party, and the
spokesman for what the Republicans stand for.He’s talking about the American Dream, abundance and the Good Life—but
at the same time, he’s harking back to the good old days when the good ol’ boys
had slaves and the ‘good woman’ knew her place.
Russian president-for-life candidate Vladimir Zhirinovsky has endorsed his
philosophical clone and comrade-in-rhetoric Pat Buchanan.Buchanan’s message is aimed toward Whites,
and I have yet to see a Black contingent at a Buchanan rally or political
caucus.Maybe the Grand Old Party needs
affirmative action to meet their quota of minority constituents.Or, is the word “conservative” a euphemism
for Jim Crow, and the word “liberal” a code-word for accepting minorities—and
that’s why it’s become a dirty word.

FLAT [WALLET] TAX: Leona Helmsley did the unthinkable when she opened
her big mouth and told the truth, “rich people don’t pay taxes.”Multi-millionaire Steve Forbes has come up
with a hare-brained scheme, the “flat tax,” a tired old re-run of the American
Dream where the rich get richer and the poor take the blame.If Congress passes Forbes’ flat tax reform,
they need a rider and an amendment to re-design the American dollar: by
replacing the picture of George Washington with American huckster P.T. Barnum
of the famous Barnum-and-Bailey show, and also replacing the slogan “In God We
Trust” with “There’s a sucker born every minute.”

Intact old-growth forests are not a “renewable resource,” and replacing
them with tree farms is ecologically unsound and looks ugly.

Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: On July 7, at about 6:30 in the evening, I received a call from a
Federally Recognized blood-quantum Indian, who stated that my columns were
“negative writing” about the Indians and the Whites.He said, “You should not be writing that negatively, because the
White man gave you a house,” meaning the “Indian housing” funded by the United
States Government for the Indian settlers to occupy Ahnishinahbæótjibway
land.I told him, “I do not live in a
house built by the U.S. Government.”I
built my house myself, with my own labor and my own money, on the land which
has belonged to my Dodem for hundreds of thousands of years.
Then the White Indian made a typical White racist remark, “Do you live in a
tepee? ... What are you, a Traditionalist?”A “Traditionalist,” as told by Chippewa Indians, is embodying the White
man’s definition of what an Indian is supposed to be: Hollywood stereotypes,
racist anthropology, and other vicious scapegoat-projections.This abusive nonsense of the White man about
what a “Real Indian” is supposed to be and do, comprises insults that I have
heard many times.About a month ago, I
talked to a White woman who was working on the new edition of the League of
Women Voters’ book, “Indians in Minnesota,” which on the surface seems to be a
thoroughly researched and objective book, but the last edition of which
promotes and re-creates the White man’s artificial Indians.This woman’s latent racism came out when she
saw that I use a computer to write this column.She said, “I thought you Indians used tom-toms and smoke signals”
to communicate.Then, she said, “you
should be saving the Indian culture, and teaching the young all about being
Indian.”I answered, “I’m not an
Indian, and I am not about to promote your artificial, White Indian culture for
you.You White people have deliberately
destroyed much of my Aboriginal culture, and killed most of my Dodem,” meaning
my family.The Indian culture
curriculum taught in the schools is both institutional child abuse and a human
rights violation.I told the League
woman that the schools should teach the children chemistry and math, and
“better yet, teach them English” instead of Chippewa.I am not going to stand by silently while anybody’s children are
taught to self-destruct with Indian stereotypes and are programmed to be the
White man’s scapegoat.Examples of the
racism which I have experienced my whole life include the name-calling,
stereotyping and scapegoating which are a necessary part of the pseudo-male
Euro-American English trade-language.
The Chip-away Indian caller also complained that I wore “white man’s
glasses”—my glasses are not Indian Health Service glasses.As far as I am concerned, the United States
Government could leave my land tomorrow, and take the B.I.A. and all of their
other Indian programs, and their Indians, with them.I don’t benefit from the U.S. Government’s “Indian”
programs.I would joyfully give up my
computer, and my glasses, and everything else that the White man has “invented”
within his infrastructure based on my Peoples’ resources: to have my family
that’s been killed, back again.I would
also gladly give up their English language, which is not my language and was
violently forced onto me in “Indian” Boarding School.
I explained to the Wanna-Be Redby Indian that ninety percent of the so-called
“Indians” are Indo-Europeans who have been turned into “Indians” and put on the
Indian Rolls by the White man, and who maintain their fictitious Indian blood
quantum at the pleasure of the White man—and I invited him to come look at his
genealogy, and see for himself.I also
said to him that the Indian identity is an English term—it is not an Aboriginal
term.There is no word for “Indian” in
theAhnishinahbæótjibway
language.I informed him that he had a
White man’s identity, of “Indian.”He
hung up on me then.Part of the
artificial Indian identity is hating “white people,” and I suppose that he
didn’t want to hear about how the White man trapped him with the
Euro-Americans’ Indian identity.INDIAN TREATIES:The testimony
at the Mille Lacs Treaty Trial has concluded, and the main question of who is
going to regulate the six fish and the other few natural resources which remain
after three centuries of plunder, awaits the decision of Judge Murphy.The question of who will issue fishing
licenses at Mille Lacs was not stressed in the media reports of the trial—but
State Law, United States Law, and Indian Law are all Roman Law, and no matter
what decision is handed down, the White man wins.
Irrelevant of the outcome of the Mille Lacs Case, “Me-Economics” [a social
structure organized according to the White pseudo-male paradigm and enforced by
violence: “hooray for me and F* you”] will prevail.The Roman and British illegal systems which have been imported by
the Euro-Americans to this Continent, in concert with the Indo-European
languages, define and structure an abstract “reality” which is a closed system,
and deny the existence of any other possible reality, especially the
egalitarian and harmonious Aboriginal Indigenous ones.Subject peoples of the “world powers”
derived from the Roman Empire are imprisoned by their language and their
culture so thoroughly that most of them do not even realize that anything
exists beyond the very real walls of their linguistic, theological and
metaphorical prisons.
Because the “Indian Treaties” were based on the White man’s mythology of
Indians without eminent domain; and written in the Euro-American English
language, under Roman and British laws, the outcome of these “Treaties” was
predetermined before they were ever negotiated.The dice were loaded, the deck was stacked, and all the Aces were
up the Treaty Commissioner’s sleeve.The bottom line of the Indian Treaties was to re-define the Aboriginal
Indigenous people and to brainwash our children in compulsory-education
schools.UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION:There is no mention of women in the U.S. Constitution, and their
President and Vice-President are explicitly referred to with male
pronouns.The Nineteenth Amendment did
not literally give women the right to vote, although it mentions sex.The U.S. Constitution, like other documents
of Roman Law, was written in the pseudo-male language of English.There is no female language in the U.S.
Constitution, or in American English for that matter, which is why the Equal
Rights Amendment failed.It is also
why, although women purportedly gained the “right to vote,” they are
disproportionately represented in elective offices.The Nineteenth Amendment did not re-apportion representation to
accommodate the additional voters, and I don’t know what 51% of the electorate
is voting for, since representation in the U.S. Congress is Constitutionally
allocated to “male citizens 21 years of age.”
Although women are by implication invisible chattel—un-named and not recognized
as human beings (like the Aboriginal Indigenous peoples) throughout the U.S.
Constitution, “Indians” are mentioned both in the European colonists’
Declaration of Independence (as “merciless savages”), and three times in the U.S.
Constitution: once as subject to U.S. commercial regulation, and twice as
“Indians not taxed” explicitly excluded from U.S. representation and implicitly
barred from holding land as Indians.(So-called “Indian land” has been stolen from the Aboriginal Indigenous
people, and the White man’s alien title is held by the United States
Government, under “trust” for their mythological Indian wards.)One of the reasons that the deliberate
racist misnomer, “Indians,” is used so many times in the Constitution, was to
cover the genocide that the European settlers had begun and were planning on
continuing.Many of the Euro-American
immigrants had fled violence and/or ecological devastation in Europe, but
because they did not understand their hierarchical languages and social
structure objectively, their descendants have inevitably re-created the very
conditions which made their ancestors migratory refugees from their home lands.
The United States Constitution begins, “WE the people of the United States, in
order ... to secure the blessings ... to ourselves and our posterity, ...
“At the time the U.S. Constitution was
written, the identity of “WE the people” was unambiguous—they meant White,
Protestant, male property-holders.In
the past two hundred years, “WE the people” has become conveniently
ambiguous.The people who have been
referred to as the Founding Fathers are said to have “fought for freedom” in
the American Revolution, although by the time the U.S. Constitution was
ratified in 1789, their ardent desire for “liberty” had been distorted by greed
and lust for power in European-language terms.Article four, section 3, of the Constitution includes, “1. New States
may be admitted by Congress ... but no new State shall be formed or erected
within the jurisdiction of any other State ... “This is one place where the malignant social pathology of
Manifest Destiny, stealing other peoples’ property, is written right into the
U.S. Constitution, using ambiguities and euphemisms to explicitly lay out their
plans for destroying Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ families and cultures, and
stealing our land.

Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: On the twelfth of July, the Minneapolis Star Tribune had an
article in the Metro section reporting the jury’s decision that the Native
American Press/Ojibwe News publisher and staffwriter were “not guilty” of
“defamation of character,” or any of the other charges filed by Noreen Beaulieu
Smith.Bill Lawrence was not
name-calling, he and Gary Blair were reporting the news accurately; what they
wrote was the truth—and, sooner or later, the truth always comes out.SUE INDIANS: In other news, the
two Indians who got a humiliating and dirty ride in the trunk of a squad car
won their case against the City of Minneapolis, although the settlement awarded
to them by the court was only a fraction of the damages that should have been paid—they’ve
been sold out before, and they were ripped off again by their lawyer.
The Minneapolis police were “not guilty” of violating the Indians’ rights—it
was the Minneapolis cops who did it.The difference between the police and the cops goes like this: when they
wear their cap or helmet, they’re policemen.But, when they don’t have a cap on, they’re only cops.The cops are the ones who put the people in
the trunk of their car, not the police.What the cops did is also known as “trunk and Indian,” and even cops
should know that without a designated driver, “trunk” and “Indian” don’t mix.
There’s a new movie out, “Indian in the Cupboard.”I’ve never seen the movie, but I’ve been wondering what strange
characteristic it is about Western culture and its mythologies, that these
people always want to stuff Indians in the cupboard, or in the trunk of a car,
or any place else that’s out of sight and out of mind.
After the French and Indian Wars, the British stuffed the defeated French
Indians out of the way, in prisoner-of-war camps.Their heirs changed the name to “Indian Reservations,” and
stuffed the rest of the French Moors, the fur trade half-breeds, the Indian
Chiefs, and even the aboriginal people onto the Reservations and into the
invented identity of “Reservation Indians.”Re-naming things seems to be a European trait (their Bible tells them to
give everything names—so they’re great at name-calling).They can’t leave it alone, and they’ve
changed the names again, this time to “Indian Nation;” and to keep their
“Native Americans” from contaminating the WASPs, they’ve re-segregated them
(after a phase of assimilation) and called them “sovereign.”
The immigrant Euro-Americans seem obsessed with segregation—they segregate
themselves in the suburbs, and segregate their minorities and ethnic groups in
ghettos and in rural poverty (they should call this place the Un-united
States).The animals in a zoo are also
segregated—but would they be a sovereign nation?The people in the ghettos are segregated and isolated as
thoroughly as Indians are on the Reservations—the way I see it, they’re set
apart by matrilineal ancestry, so using the White man’s crooked linear logic,
the “other America” must be sovereign too.The people in prisons are also segregated from society, so are they
sovereign or is it just apartheid under another name?What exactly does this word “sovereignty” really mean?It seems like forked-tongue speaking, because
making human beings into wards of the government under trusteeship is a human
rights violation, but I don’t see how this kind of “sovereignty” or
sivilization has any connection to that claimed by the United Nations, the
Queen of England, or the Roman Empire (whose heirs are here).MORE MYTHOLOGY: Burger King,
which sells ecologically devastating fast-food hamburgers, has a new promotion
scheme based on the movie Pocohantas.Have you seen the Indian caricature on their french-fry packages—boy, is
he ugly, and I mean ugly!He’s even
uglier than the Ka-lai-jah, the wooden Indian across the street from Paul
Bunyan in Bemidji.Everybody’s getting
into the Disney-promotional tie-in scheme.The rumor is that there is a new perfume coming out, also based on the
Pocohantas mythology.It’s called
“Beaver Tail,” and it’s an irresistible lure which only attracts Squaw Men,
especially those square-jawed Europeans who are tall, blonde and blue
eyed.It would have been more accurate
to call this new perfume “Genetic Engineering,” or maybe “Continental
Conquest”—because the origin of Indians begins with a Squaw Man, and the
Europeans depended on their Indians to steal this Continent.
The mythologies of the Western European man and of his Disneyland are
interesting.I wonder what would have
happened if Ka-lai-jah or Chief Wahoo found Cinderella’s glass slipper?Would the South rise again?Would anybody say anything if Uncle Tom
romanced Princess Pale Moon, or would Aunt Jemimah spend her life as a
spinster?Would Disney, Inc. spend
millions of dollars making a buxom, glamorous and highly promoted movie about
either story?ORIGIN OF MAN: There are many different myths and theories which
different cultures have about the Origin of Man, and two of these theories are
in the news again because of the prayer-in-school issue.(This is an example of the Western
hierarchies’ classical diversionary tactics, as well as being social
engineering legislation no matter which side wins.)One of the most hotly debated pseudo-controversies is Darwin and
Spencer’s evolutionary theory of “survival of the fittest.”Darwin’s brainstorm was inspired by sitting
on an island with an intact ecology (which he didn’t see—he called it
“wild”).This Galapagos island had not
yet been exploited by Western European man, although it had been inhabited by
Aboriginal people since time immemorial.What Darwin thought he saw was animals rapaciously devouring other
animals, but he did not understand that the predators were only practicing
ecological euthanasia by eating the weak and the sick who would have died
anyway—they did not kill to extermination like the people of Western so-called
Sivilization have done for millennia, shooting everything and letting it
rot.The inhabitants of the Galapagos
Islands lived in balance and in harmony, but Darwin couldn’t see it because he
was culturally crippled and a prisoner of his violent language.Darwin should have pursued his studies
farther, gone back to Western Europe and sat on one of the islands there, and
then written about the consequences of “survival of the fittest” on land which
had once had a balanced ecology like that he saw on the Galapagos islands, but
had been plundered into a barren rock.A POKE IN THE RIB: Western European scientists’ theory of origin is the
“Big Bang.”The principal competing
theory is that of Adam and Eve.It
looks like Adam married his own rib—did he commit a sin, or was that was before
sin was invented?I don’t know what he
said when he introduced Eve at a social occasion, did he say “and here’s my
wife—my rib” or did he say “this is my apple-polisher.”To me, this Good Christian mythology
features a role model of the ultimate in incest, promoting a very effective way
to create a gene pool with recessive and mutated genes.People who claim “this is only a myth”
should think about what their scientists are doing with the condors and the
wolves and other “endangered species.”Instead of admitting that they destroyed them, they’re following the
Adam-and-Eve theory of origin, using a few individuals to re-create an
artificial, crippled species full of recessive mutations and other genetic
defects, which has no chance of surviving in a demolished ecosystem and
polluted watershed; in cities filled with guns, drugs, crime and violence; in
suburban trophy-rooms; or in D.N.R. offices.They should face the consequences—they’ve already forced them into
extinction.They can’t escape the
destructive patterns in their English language, and the Westerners want to make
this Continent into a wasteland like old Europe—if they’re so homesick for a
trashed ecology, why don’t they just move back to Europe and leave this place
alone.My telephone number is (218)

Nation (We, the People): “Park status assailed,” according to the headline in
Sunday’s Duluth News-Tribune.... Native American Press/Ojibwe
News.
Abstract: “Park status assailed,” according to the headline in Sunday’s Duluth
News-Tribune.The headline should
have read, “Voyageur National Park status assaulted.”On Friday, August 18, the Congressional Natural Resources
committees will hold a hearing in International Falls, taking testimony from
the immigrant population “to gauge regional public sentiment on federal control
of land, especially Voyageurs National Park and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area
Wilderness,” according to the Duluth newspaper.
Former U.S. Congressman John Blatnik is described in the same newspaper as
writing some of the original Voyageurs Park legislation with the intent that
“people be able to experience the same solitude and wilderness that voyageurs
experienced 200 years before.”Progress
is a crooked English word meaning “to destroy the old,” and in the name of
progress, vested interests in the north-brush are pushing to change the
wilderness designations at Voyageurs and in the B.W.C.A.Their opening spearhead is being supported
by people in the tourist industry and by fishermen, who want motor-boat and
snowmobile access to the entire area.But, history repeats itself, and the longer-range agenda of the backroom
good ol’ boys, including the pulp and lumber industries, to gain access to the
70-year-old pines in the area, is written clearly in the Duluth News-Tribune:
“you can’t cut down trees” with a wilderness designation.
When the natural resource industries get done with the B.W.C.A. and Voyageur’s
National Park, it will be a barren rock like Europe, where the ancestors of the
transient (nomadic wanderers) and highly mobile immigrants came from, and there
will not be a trace of what was originally here—as planned.
In 1913, botanists Nathaniel Lord Britton and Addison Brown of the New York
Botanical Garden described the tattered remnants of the Ahnishinahbæótjibway’s
original forest in An Illustrated Flora of the Northern United States and
Canada.These are a few of the
vanishing species that were plundered from the now-extinct ecosystem:
White Pine (Pinus Strobus): height over 225 feet, trunk diameter 10½
feet—White Pines taller than a 22-story building.
Red Spruce (Picea rubens): height of 100 feet, trunk diameter 4 feet.
Red Cedar (Juniperius virginiana): height about 100 feet, trunk diameter
5 feet.
Black Walnut (Juglans nigra): height about 150 feet, trunk diameter 8
feet.
Yellow Birch (Betula leutea): height about 100 feet, trunk diameter 4
feet.
Red Oak (Quercus rubra): height about 140 feet, trunk diameter 7 feet.
White Oak (Quercus alba): height about 150 feet, trunk diameter 8 feet.
Why not clear-cut the B.W.C.A.—the wood-butchers are expected to win over the
“tree-huggers,” and some of the “peoples’ representatives” in Washington are
getting big bucks to help speed the ecocide.The slogan “jobs, jobs, jobs” will last about ten years, then there will
be unemployment lines, soup lines, and not even any fish because the fish need
the forest to live in balance and harmony.There is no place on earth left to “discover” (which is an English-language
euphemism for “invade”), so this time some of the people pressing for “economic
development” will be forced to live with the ruined consequences of their
actions.
The vast majority of the immigrants who call themselves Americans don’t have
any sense of their own history, their own identity, nor of their connection to
the land.They don’t have any roots,
and so they do not realize what they will be doing to themselves if they trash
one of the very few remaining almost-wilderness areas.The buffalo are a vanishing species, and
your buffalo nickels are gone.MORE THIEVERY: Who took those “No Wake, No Wash” signs down along the
Mississippi River?The wake from
motorboats washes away the shoreline, and the signs were posted to preserve
what little shore was left after the now-worthless Power Dam was
constructed.The sportsmen pushing for
“motorized access” to the B.W.C.A. say they are just as “respectful” as people
in canoes, but actions speak louder than words.TRUNK-AND-INDIANS: According to the Associated Press, the Hennepin
County Medical Center is billing the two Trunk Indians, who won their case in
court, for more than $24,000 in old medical bills.It would be interesting to see the itemized bill that they’re
sending them.Instead of calling an
ambulance, they used the trunk of squad car to transport them—I wonder what
they’ll be billed for cleaning the trunk of that squad car.
Is this the way that the White establishment works under Roman Law—billing
victims for the crimes committed against them?Getting these people defined as “lower class,” “unwashed masses” and
“outcaste;” hooked on alcohol, drugs and crime; destroying them and their
families is a reflection on the grim reality of the alien Americans’ imported
“democracy.”I suppose that other
County and City agencies will be getting onto the gravy train, and instead of
getting a ettlement from the City of Minneapolis, the Trunk Indians will be
going to court for owing the city money.Concerned Indians should call the Bureau of Indian Affairs and their
1934 I.R.A. Tribal Councils, and ask them if this is how a “sovereign” people
should be treated?Is paying the
damages after you’ve won in court another form of the B.I.A.’s “diplomatic
immunity,” or is it only another segregation policy under colonial
sovereignty?When A.I.M. leaders
recommend a lawyer, you’d better get a second opinion, or better yet, run like
hell.“I’D RATHER SWITCH THAN FIGHT”: Ross “The Boss” Perot is in the news
again.He’s talking about a third
party, but not with great enthusiasm.The way that Congressmen and Senators are switching party affiliation in
mid-term, does “America” really need a third party to compound the
confusion?One hand already doesn’t
know what the other hand is doing, but you’d better watch your back (pocket).
What Ross and other would-be political reformers should be doing is talking
about a law requiring those elected to keep their campaign platforms and
promises—and party affiliation would seem to be fundamental, unless there isn’t
any difference between the political parties anyway.If Ross Perot gets elected, could he then switch to the
Republican party, and leave his Third Party holding the bag without any
representation?What if Clinton
switched to became a Republican?Would
the country fall apart, or would he just be another mug-wumper sitting on the
fence like the rest of them?

Nation (We, the People): Pat Doyle’s article in the Tuesday, June 14 issue of
the Minneapolis Star Tribune quoted expert witnesses for the Mille Lacs
Band of Chippewa Indians ... Native American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: Pat Doyle’s article in the Tuesday, June 14 issue of the Minneapolis Star
Tribune quoted expert witnesses for the Mille Lacs Band of Chippewa Indians
who claimed that Chief Hole-in-the-Day did not speak for the Mille Lacs
Chippewas.An anthropology professor
who testified for the 1934 I.R.A. Mille Lacs Band of Indians said, “I don’t
know who Hole in the Day represents.”
Hole-in-the-Day was no different from all of the other White Paper Indian
Chiefs who were created by the White man and recognized by the United States
during the Indian Treaty years under the provisions of imported Roman and
British law.Using these European laws,
the immigrant Europeans’ governments have always owned both sides of the Indian
Treaty process, as well as the subsequent court cases.This was made very clear in 1805, when U.S.
representative Zebulon Pike recorded in his diaries that he had appointed
Indian Chiefs and issued them U.S. Government Chief Medallions at Leech
Lake.In Baraga’s nineteenth-century
Chippewa Creole language, the word “ogima” refers both to Indian Chiefs and to
U.S. Government agents.There is no
word for “chief” in the egalitarian Ahnishinahbæótjibway
language.
The U.S. Government has always chosen Indian Chiefs who endorse United States
interests.These Federally Recognized
Indian Chiefs have all been genetically and culturally European—U.S. Chippewa
Indian Chiefs are by definition Squaw Men and/or descendants of Squaw Men.The U.S. is an outside force which
artificially created both Indians and a centralized Indian government designed
to illegally sell what the U.S. Government called (using alien Roman legal
terminology) the “usufruct” of [Ahnishinahbæótjibway]
land.The U.S. paid their professional
Indian Treaty Chiefs handsomely for selling fictitious Indian “rights of
occupancy.”Their Feudal European
system was unilaterally “modernized” by the U.S. Government under the 1934
Indian Reorganization Act, but remains structurally unchanged.
According to Treaty transcripts, Hole-in-the-Day was acting in an European capacity
as a centralized agent, and he was quoted as saying, “The Indians don’t own
anything.I own this land,” which he
did not.Hole-in-the-day was part of
the imported European government, which sold land in a “democratic way,”
without referendum or consensus.He
sold “Indian right of occupancy” in the same way as the European Sovereign of
France sold “eminent domain” on the same land as a part of the Louisiana
Purchase.This is how the land claimed
by the United States was stolen.The
United States Government’s claim to the Aboriginal Indigenous peoples’ land
they call the United States is based on racist immigrant Roman Law.
Part of the perennial waste of taxpayers dollars is promoting crime and
compounding the fiction of the legitimacy of U.S. claims to Ahnishinahbæótjibway
land.The three-ring Barnum-and-Bailey
Treaty Case presently being held at the Federal Court in Minneapolis, is a
trilogy of artificial entities which have no claim to this land: the Indians,
the State of Minnesota, and the United States.They are using imported Western European Law on Ahnishinahbæótjibway
land, and their alien and violent system has no jurisdiction on this
Continent.The Mille Lacs Indians are
erroneously stipulating, along with the State of Minnesota and the United
States, that the cessions made in the 1837 Indian Treaty by U.S. Medallion
Indian Chiefs are binding on the Ahnishinahbæótjibway.Their purported selling of our land is
obscene.
In the foreign U.S. Indian Treaties, there is no provision for protection of
the gravesites of the Aboriginal Indigenous people.This was not important to the Indians, because these graves are
not the graves of their ancestors.All
three parties in the three-ring trilogy have apparently agreed, under racist
Roman Law, not to talk about the crucial issues.The In-House Indians at Mille Lacs are not challenging the
legitimacy of the Europeans’ claims to eminent domain by “right of discovery”
under foreign European pre-Colombian Papal Bull, because the 1934 I.R.A. Indian
Leaders at Mille Lacs are a part of the White man’s system under Roman Law; and
as such they are in complicity with the genocide of the Ahnishinahbæótjibway.NOW AND THEN NEWS:
In the Letters to the Editor section of the Sunday, June 19 Minneapolis Star
Tribune, Phil Bemis’ letter from a Western European perspective was
printed.Mr. Bemis “hopes” that Judge
Diana Murphy will hold the [devastating] change in the ecosystem over the past
157 years, “foremost in her mind.”He
writes that in 1837, “there was no corner grocery store to pick up bread and
milk,” although for the Ahnishinahbæótjibway our intact
ecosystem was a supermarket providing everything that we needed, and we did not
need food stamps or Kommod’s.That was
then, and the immigrant Europeans have been on welfare for the past 500 years,
devouring the ecological infrastructure of our Continent.That was then, and it continues now.
Judge Murphy should understand that the destruction of the environment which
came about as a result of the Chippewa Indians’ agreement to sell our Ahnishinahbæótjibway
land resulted in genocide of the Ahnishinahbæótjibway, who
never agreed to the sale of land.
Phil Bemis writes that when the Treaty was signed, “that was then—and this is
now.In the late 1800’s, the Native Americans
were still taking the white settlers’ scalps, but that was then—this is
now.”He writes his own racist and
Eurocentric version of history, claiming that White immigrants were being
scalped.If he were to research what he
writes, he would find that it was the Whites who were doing the scalping, and
getting paid big bucks by the State of Minnesota to do it—as much as $500. per
scalp.The vast majority of the scalps
taken, were not White peoples’ scalps taken by Indians, but the scalps of
Aboriginal Indigenous people murdered by Whites and their Indians.That was then, when $500. was more than a
year’s wages.This is now; they don’t
take scalps anymore.But, the bounty is
still being paid out, in the prison economic system, where under Roman Law, bounty-hunters
get more than $40,000. per year for their role in taking the whole body:
hapless people who have accepted the stereotypical labels and definition of
“criminal,” and become entrapped as Europeans’ slaves.
In the non-violent Ahnishinahbæótjibway language, there is no
word for “War” or “peace” or “warrior.”In the hierarchical Indo-European Chippewa language by Baraga, and in
the Indian culture which was created by the immigrant Europeans for the subject
people descended from their Squaw Men, there is a word for “warrior,” and there
are words for warfare and peace.
Phil Bemis goes on to write that “All men are created equal,” and that “this
great country” was built on principle.The underlying principle that he refers to is violence, including the
violent theft and rape of the land.That was then.Maybe that’s why
there is violence clear around the world dominated by the European superpower,
the United States, because of this “principle.”This is now, and it needs to change.Violence is perverted and unnecessary, and only creates more
violence.The policy-makers of Western
European $ivilization know this, and profit from it.
Mr. Bemis also writes, “It’s time all Americans lived by the same rules”—this
is now.What rules does he refer
to?The racist Roman and British Law
which the White immigrants brought with them from the bankrupt European
countries they fled?This is now.From an Ahnishinahbæótjibway
perspective, it looks like what he really means is, “Now that we Whites have
the land, the law and the guns, everybody plays by [the White man’s Imperial
Roman] rules.”The Roman legal system,
and gambling, have the same structure.That was then, and that is still now.It’s always been designed so that the House wins.It’s long overdue that these laws be
integrated and desegregated, and there urgently needs to be reform to make this
a better world for everyone.
They say the United States is a “culturally diverse” country, but it is founded
on Western European laws derived from the Romans and Hammurabi, and the
allowable “diversity” is all Western European.Under this $ivilized system, the upper-class Whites are bamboozling
everybody else on this Continent, holding five aces of clubs up their sleeve,
and go unchallenged when they say, “heads I win, tails you lose.”Their European laws are the Europeans’ own
business in Europe, but they should have never been exported.The Euro-Americans’ so-called “Indian” laws
are apartheid codified under their imported Roman and British legal system, and
are stacked in the White man’s favor.Every time the Good Ol’ Boys of Western Civilization use their Law on
another race of people, the Whites inevitably end up committing genocide and
human rights violations.That was
“then,” and now, their violent laws and languages need to be changed, so that
they are in harmony with the Aboriginal Indigenous peoples’ ancient Laws of
this Continent.

the Red Lake Band recently “won” 27 million dollars “compensation” for
destruction of red and white pine after 1889.But, there is more to a forest than the pine trees.What about the destruction of the indigenous
people’s homeland?That pine forest
provided food, clothing and shelter for us.What about the deer, moose, buffalo, partridges, rabbits and fish?What about the permaculture: berries, nuts,
grapes, chokecherries, pincherries, and medicinal plants?The White man’s attorneys and their
rubber-stamp Indians make no mention of what else was destroyed, along with the
pine trees.The proposed settlement
ignores indigenous people’s burial grounds, rice lakes, the loss of our homes,
and pollution of our water.It also
ignores the violence that the White man brought in here.
What these Indians are settling for, is rapacious hypocrisy.They ignore the devastation and pollution
caused by these “first environmentalists” and so-called conservationists.Since Roger Jourdain and his cronies brought
the 1934 I.R.A. onto Red Lake, the Bureau’s Indians have been plundering the
forests, clear-cutting.For nearly
forty years, truckload after truckload of stolen timber has been hauled off of
this land at discount prices.And, what
about the lake?The greedy Indians have
destroyed one of the richest fisheries in the country, and it will be fifty
years before Red Lake recovers, if ever—and now they want “Indian management”
of Mille Lacs Lake.The forests and the
lakes go together: there are no fish flies to feed the young fingerlings, the
food for the fish has disappeared with the forest, and the Lake has been
polluted by runoff from commercially grown domesticated rice and other
sewage.You can’t drink the water here,
it’s all polluted.We might as well
live in the desert, you can’t drink the water there, either.The barren environment that is now at Red
Lake is the result of greedy self-interest on the part of the Anglo-Chippewas
and Franco-Ojibwas—wanna-be’s of Western European imperialism acting for the
benefit of the colonizers, selling land and resources that have never belonged
to the Indians or to the Whites.
The United States Government is trying to buy time, with yet another
“settlement.”Using their crooked English
language, they created institutions to steal, and now they are negotiating with
themselves, through their in-house “instrumentality” the IRA Tribal
Council.The purpose of the 1889 Nelson
Act was to steal nearly three million acres of land, but the Tribal Council
isn’t even questioning the land theft.In the White man’s backroom deals with himself, the Tribal Council
signed legal papers that include the stipulation,“By Exception 41, the Red Lake Band does not contend that the
Nelson Act is void,” and agree to “ab initio” provisions “that a statute or
treaties, in and of itself,” does not need to be “fair and honorable.”
The $27 million dollars mentioned in the Bemidji Pioneer headline is a
misleading figure.According to the
next-to-last paragraph in the Pioneer article, “before the settlement
can be finalized, the band must submit a plan describing how the money will be
used.”This is the first time I’ve ever
heard of a lawsuit where the plaintiff had to justify their use of settlement
money.Could this be a
smokescreen?After the lawyers take
their 33.3% share off the top of the settlement, about nine million dollars,
and the Bureau of Indian Affairs takes its third for “administrative costs,”
and then Franklin Roosevelt’s “New Deal,” the DFL party, takes it’s third in
“campaign contributions,” what have you got left?Only a red herring, and it smells.ECONOMIC SUMMIT: The Sunday Pioneer published several articles
about an “economic summit” held at Red Lake last Friday.About two hundred people, mostly outsiders,
discussed strategies to increase employment at Red Lake.The Pioneer could have entitled their articles, “Deja-vu all over
again,” “Treaty Reruns,” and “White history repeats itself.”The majority of people who claim to be Red
Lakers, both those living on the reservation and those who have already been
relocated, did not attend, according to Bobby Whitefeather as quoted in the Pioneer—although
there were a few hang-around-the-fort Indians in attendance.
Although Friday’s session was billed as a “summit,” it sounds like yet another
crooked deal was being cut in the backrooms.This time around, instead of selling stolen timber, they’re caught up in
enabling further encroachment on land that doesn’t belong to them, using
99-year leases.By the way, the
colonizer’s lease on Hong Kong’s is up this year.Western European Imperialism is all over the world, where it
doesn’t belong, hidden under the slippery euphemism of “globalization.”
The themes of the 1997 “Red Lake summit” are more than a hundred and thirty
years old.Only the language changes:
refurbished versions of slippery and crooked English make it look more
appealing.The kinds of economic plans
that are being offered generate low-class jobs like working in a car wash at
less than the minimum wage—and you’re addressing poverty and unemployment?It sounds like the White Buffer Indians and
wanna-be’s are just doing their jobs, brokering the dirty work for their
Western European colonizing relatives.They are using social engineering to entrench the class system promoted
by the Whites.The in-group will keep
their high-paying jobs working for their masters in the Federal government, and
once the welfare payments are cut off, the out-group will be forced off of the
reservation, in another historical re-run relocation project.This isn’t surprising, since forced
migration is a part of the here today and gone tomorrow, fly-by-night European
culture.VIOLENCE AT RED LAKE: President Clinton has been in the news lately,
trying to address racism.Could it be
that racism hides the real issue, which is classism?The class system at Red Lake was created by the White colonizers,
using social engineering and eugenics blood-quantum policies.The White man’s Buffer Indians are so good
at math, that the Whiter they get, the higher their “Indian” blood quantum is
and the more Hollywood Indian movies they watch.When I was in school in the 1930’s, I was told by the Catholic
nuns, “You Indians are the Vanishing Americans, and you will go.”I am not an American and I am not an
“Indian,” and even as a kid in boarding school, I was wondering who they were
talking about.The White man has
painted himself into a corner with his guilt about the genocide they committed
here: killing off the indigenous people, and then replacing them with
Anglo-Chippewa and Franco-Ojibwa Indians who are in fact Indo-Europeans.
The violence which is escalating at Red Lake has nothing to do with the
indigenous people.In school, the
forcibly administered theme, repeated so many times I’m still sick of it, was
“assimilate,” and “you will become civilized.”Apparently the Buffer Indians got the message, and assimilated into the
White man’s violent civilization.If
the indigenous people of this continent would have been “civilized,”
Christopher Columbus would have never landed—we’d have killed him.Only Western European “civilized” people go
to war, and kill one another.Christian
and other Western values have made their people immune and desensitized to
their stupid and senseless violence.People need to take responsibility, take charge of their lives, and take
back their real identities, instead of acting like juveniles, gangs and
schoolyard bullies.
Perhaps the violence at Red Lake is a message about the genocide that was
committed here.Maybe the land is
saying something to you—and being not connected to the land, you don’t
listen.The English language is out of
balance—before the coming of the European, the language on this land was always
a balanced male and female language.This is why we had all of the tall, beautiful red pine and white pine
here, that you Indo-Indians are brokering to the White man.The English language is a male hierarchical
language, and it’s out of balance with Grandmother Earth and the female
ecosystem.English has no manners or
respect for anybody—even for themselves, that’s why there’s all this senseless
violence.We need female language, to
balance everything out.With a female
language, we can become human beings, treat each other with respect and
manners, and nurture Grandmother Earth—she gives us all life.On the other hand, the White man’s male,
violent hierarchical English language takes away life.This is called “civilization.”

Nation (We, the People): “Set priorities, avoid weekends when planning trip to

Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: “Set priorities, avoid weekends when planning trip to Disneyland,”
advises the Sunday Travel section of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.I don’t know whether the writer means
Washington, D.C. or Anaheim, California, because on the front page of the same
newspaper beneath a picture of Mickey Mouse, there is a headline, “Exercising
tribal sovereignty in the face of new conflicts”—Washington, D.C. and Disney,
Inc. are both indulging in make-believe, creating fantasy-lands and
mythological people.Disney created
Pocohantas and on the other side of the continent, Congress created the
Pokagons.(The Star Tribune
devotes more than two newspaper pages to 315 Federally Recognized Pokagon
Pequot “Indians” of 1/16 blood quantum—they don’t tell you their other 15/16ths
is mostly European, and blood runs thicker than water.The Strib is playing the White man’s
guilt for all it’s worth, obscuring both the genocide of the Aboriginal people
and the massive White Federal “Indian” bureaucracy by promoting the illusion of
“Indian sovereignty.”)After the jump
to page 15A, the Star Tribune article reads, “Congress recognized the
Pokagon tribe last summer ... the ink was barely dry on the recognition
documents” when the newly created Indians had a referendum to put up a casino.SCAMS AND OTHER CRIMES: The good ol’ WASP elite used to have the Mafia
handle their dirty work and run their disreputable businesses, but since the
RICO Statutes came into effect, we haven’t heard much about the Mafia or the
G-Men (just the re-runs on T.V.).Taking their place, it’s déja-vu all over again with the Indians and the
same old crooked games go on.It looks
like the New Indians, who are under trusteeship and are wards of the U.S.
Government just like the older Treaty Indians and Chiefs, are being used by an
in-group of Euro-American shyster lawyers to fill the void left by the
Mafia.When the dirt beneath the glitz
in the new Indian casinos starts to stink, will the Congressmen, Senators and
B.I.A. bureaucrats who institutionalized Indian gambling by creating their own
mythological sovereign Indians, be sent to jail along with their Federally
Recognized Indians for racketeering and moral turpitude?SECONDHAND HOT AIR: Affirmative Action is also front-page news—it looks
like President Clinton is going to use it as one of the planks in his
platform.President Pete Wilson wants
to abolish A.A. (Affirmative Action) because too many people are getting
“uppity,” and they don’t show him proper respect like genuflecting and kissing
hierarchical butt.They need a 12-Step
Program in Affirmative Action (or A.A.).When they talk about “reverse discrimination” in Affirmative Action, I
always thought there should be an exchange program where the upper class would
go live in the homeless’ section of town, and the dregs of society would go
live in the penthouses and country estates for awhile.That would really be Affirmative Action!Or, the moneyed Congressman should swap status
with the down-and-out and unemployed, and let the poverty-stricken govern for
awhile.The homeless and the
chronically unemployed pay taxes, but do not have representation in Congress.The first ten steps in the Affirmative
Action (A.A.) Program should address these and other despicable inequities in
the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.In the thirteenth step, history repeats itself again: you’re
getting screwed without any loving.USED BOOT-STRAPS: How does Affirmative Action apply to the Sovereign
status that the White man gave to his Indians?Can Whites file equal-access lawsuits to wear war-bonnets, beat
tom-toms, smoke peace-pipes, live in tee-pees and run sweat-lodges?Or, are they scared to use Affirmative
Action to get equal treatment—they might be labelled “Squaw Men” or (Ugh!)
Wanna-be’s.In re-inventing the New
Indian and leaving the old stereotype in the dust of history, some of what used
to be the exclusive province of Indians is being left behind.I haven’t heard the words “Ugh, Me Indian,”
or the songs “Squaws Along the Yukon are Good Enough for Me” or “Ka-lai-jah the
Wooden Indian” for a long time, and I haven’t heard Russell Means calling
everybody a “Squanto Sell-Out” in his speeches lately.When I was in boarding school, we were told
over and over again, “Indians are the ‘Vanishing Americans,’ and you will not
live among us, and you will go;” Indians were to be scapegoats and political
hockey-pucks.But, the U.S. Congress
keeps re-inventing their Indians, leaving the old stereotypes behind and
turning the “bad Indians” into the “good Indians”—wait until the casino profit
pendulum swings back again.In the
meantime, White Wanna-be’s could keep the old stereotypes alive through
Affirmative Action, suing for the right to use these farces for
themselves.Everybody wants to get into
the Hollywood act of playing Indian and re-playing tired old caricatures; as
long is this is America, why can’t everybody be an Acting Indian?RED, WHITE AND BLUE: The K.K.K. seems to have given up on cross-burning
because of a city ordinance against burning trash, but burning as a public
demonstration has been a part of European and Euro-American tradition for
hundreds of years—if they’re not burning witches at the stake, they’re burning
steaks in their backyard (it’s either steaks or mistakes, I haven’t completely
figured out the Euro-American culture yet).The new White Supremacy groups are looking for something else to burn—if
Bud Grant’s anti-Indian organization burned war-bonnets and sold Treaty Beer
and Custer Malt Liquor as the Indians look for a depleted fish to spear, would
the 7th Cavalry rise again?
The U.S. Congress is getting on the burning bandwagon (along with their
Prayer-in-school agenda) by proposing a Constitutional Amendment making a
symbol, the United States flag, holy and sacred—while at the same time trashing
the real ecology and polluting the water.INDIAN LAW: When Congress created White mythological Indians (using
their expansionist culture’s mystique of “discovery”—they were lost but yet
they “discovered”), they had to give the illusion which they created all the
trappings of assimilated civilization including “Indian Law”—a tired old
rewrite of Roman and English law.Indian law is not Aboriginal law, and is not indigenous to this
land.Congress and the Star Tribune
would like you to believe that Aboriginal people had Roman “Indian Law.”If Indigenous people had, this Continent
would have been even more of a barren rock than Europe was at that time, and
the Europeans would have turned around and gone back home—there would have been
nothing left for anybody to steal.There would have been no need for Missionaries under “Indian Law,” which
is based on the Christianity of the Holy Roman Empire.Under White “Indian Law” the ecosystem at
Red Lake has been trashed and demolished, and the water polluted—so much for
the Romanized people who claim “Indian Law” as their own.THE AMERICAN DREAM: The melting pot theory has been renamed, they now
call it “diversity.”Instead of being
founded on “race,” it’s based on social class; using social engineering to
steal what little identity the “Americans” have left, and mongrelizing these
people in a hodge-podge of mythological identities and pseudo-history.It fans the smoldering flames of anger and
resentment, disenfranchises the lower classes, and (using Affirmative Action)
keeps the Good Ol’ Boys in power.It’s
another “Manhattan Project,” a loose Cannon connected to a lightning rod, out
of control and approaching critical mass.

Abstract: Since I’ve been writing this column, I’ve been getting a lot of mail
and telephone calls that need to be answered.Tuesday, my mail-order certificate for completing a home-study course in
Shamanism finally arrived.As is
documented by my genuine, gilt (guilt) edged diploma from the International
Institute of Shamanism, I’ve become a full-fledged Shaman, D.D.—but I’m only
going to work part-time ... it depends on how I feel.Under my new title as Shaman, D.D., I want to thank the young
lady in Cass Lake for calling to let me know she agreed with me, on the last
column that Wub-e-ke-niew wrote.There
are a very few Ahnishinahbæótjibway people left.Thank you for calling.
Now, to the stack of mail:Dear Shaman,
I grew up a Chippewa reservation with an Indian name, and there is no way I’m
going to let anyone denigrate that upbringing.Yes, the whole nine yards: the tar-paper shack, 11 brothers and sisters,
cutting wood for heat and cooking, hauling water, outside toilets, spearing
fish in the spring for food, hunting ducks and deer in the fall for winter
food, trapping with the old man for needed cash items, etc.When we went into town to spend our
hard-earned money, the white folks were so glad to see us.We never experienced any racism.The BIA was always there to help us out when
we needed it, and they gave us fine schooling, with scholarship opportunities
to go to college so we could work as mid-level Token Indian bureaucrats for the
Bureau and other white institutions.So, why don’t you quit bitching and crying in your news column?Signed, Jean-PaulDear Wemetigozhens (translated into English, this means, “Little Burnt
Stump”),
Yeah, I guess I should quit complaining.Some of the descendants of the French fur traders, who got turned into
Indians during the War of 1812 with England, got a pretty good deal.Forty years ago, there were quite a few
tarpaper shacks in the northwoods, and almost nobody had electricity or running
water—a lot of the white people didn’t have it, either.Back then, there were actually ducks and
deer to hunt, and wood to cut.Nobody
had refrigerators, and the only way to keep fresh food was to share it.Abe Lincoln was born in a log cabin, and so
were a lot of other people.Dear Charmin,
Indian Religion, doesn’t it have degrees? How do I go about studying this religion, and getting some of
these degrees?Is it like Chemical
Dependency certification?And, do I have
to learn the language so I can help my people?Signed, Wanna-beDear Helpful,
First of all, you spelled my name wrong.It’s Shaman, with an “S.”If you
want Charmin, you’ll need to go see Roger Jourdain, Butch Brun, Bobby
Whitefeather, Buggers McArthur, or former Tribal Chairman Chip Wadena.Those are the official Indians you want to
see; I’m not an IRA Indian, never have been, and never will be.
The idea of “degrees” is a historical accident.There was a Frenchman trying to be a medicine man, and he didn’t
speak English too well.He couldn’t say
“the,” he always said “de.”He was
talking to a blood quantum Indian about the seven Crees up in Canada, and what
he said sounded like “de Crees” or “degrees.”It’s time to start debunking this mythology of “degrees.”
If you want religion, there are still a lot of missionaries around who will be
happy to give you a free Bible and save you.And, if you want to help your people, it’s more useful to learn English.Dear Shaman,
How do you make the wigwam shake?
Signed, CuriousDear Nosy,
Use a bungee cord, some of the Real Indian Traditionalists (especially those
with college degrees in Indian Studies) spell it bangii.Dear Shaman,
Some of your story-telling, some of your Wannaboozhoo stories, seem to be
outdated.Why don’t you get “with it,”
and give up on all your useless old antiquated ideas?I don’t know why you can’t be more like us.Signed, White TraditionalistDear White Liberal,
The fish are all gone and the deer are disappearing.The forests are mostly clearcut or turned into sick agriculture
called “tree farms.”The buffalo are
gone, and the passenger pigeons are extinct.They’ve been tearing down piñon nut trees to make room for more cattle,
and the spin doctors are creating public opinion to destroy the BWCA.They want to “develop” the BWCA to make
money.In plain English, their
Euroamerican motto is, “greed is good and exploitation is healthy.”
We’ve given up a lot, already.Why
don’t you try giving up something for awhile, like maybe quit stealing other
people’s lands, stop giving other people different identities ... why don’t you
give up your apartheid Constitution?And, violence seems like a useless old antiquated idea to me.As long as you’re talking about giving up
worthless customs, why don’t you straighten out your language so it doesn’t lie
so much?

Dear Shaman,
I wanted to know if there really was a Nanaboozhoo.Signed,
AnthropologistDear Grave-Robber,I went and consulted a Real
Indian Medicine Man, and then I went and talked to several Real Indian
Traditionalists.They informed me that,
“It’s so sacred, we can’t talk about it.”That’s what Real Indians always say when they don’t know, so I figured
that they didn’t know.I don’t know
either, and I don’t really care.

News.
Abstract: Someone sent me a copy of the October 19 issue of Indian Country
Today.A front-page headline reads, “Mocking
a culture,” with a photograph of a White high school student in turkey feathers
acting the role of “Big Chief” of Bennett County.In the Ahnishinahbæótjibway language, there is
no word which is a translation of the English word, “Indian,” and there are no
concepts or words in our language for “chief,” “squaw,” “band,” or “tribe,” or
“Indian Tribal Council.”These words
are all Western European words in their imported Indo-European languages,
referring to alien European concepts which have nothing to do with traditional Ahnishinahbæótjibway
culture, values or language.Neither
the Indians nor the Whites have any understanding of the languages of the
Aboriginal people of this Continent, and the “Indian culture” which is
portrayed in the media—by both Whites and Indians—is a shoddy caricature and an
insultingly cheap imitation of the egalitarian and harmonious Ahnishinahbæótjibway
language and culture.Most “Indian
languages” which are taught in “Indian Studies” University departments are
Creole languages which embody Western European abstract thinking and
hierarchical structure.
According to the accompanying article, a highly irate Indian of Porcupine,
South Dakota, said that Whites wearing buckskin, beads, war bonnets and face
paint is “a mockery of our culture.”How can Whites dressing in feathers and buckskins be a mockery of Indian
culture, when the Indian identity and Indian culture were created by the Whites
and given to their subject people, whom the Whites define as “Indians.”High school students in Martin, South
Dakota, are no different than the Washington Redskins or the B-Western
movies—and they are also no different than the Federally Recognized 1934 IRA
Indian Tribal Councils and professional Wanna-Be blood quantum Indians.Indians are an invention of the White man,
so how can Whites portraying their own projections possibly be insulting to the
people who have chosen to spend their lives acting out this fraudulent Indian
identity?Whether the person dressed in
buckskin and feathers identifies himself as “Indian” or “White,” if they act an
Indian role, they are caricaturing and mocking the Aboriginal Indigenous
people—who are not, and have never been, “Indians.”HANGOVER: The Indian was created to be the Euro-Americans’ political
hockey puck and scapegoat, and “drunken Indian” and the other vicious
projections that go with it are inseparable reinforcements of the White man’s
old worn-out “Indian” stereotype.Just
as opium was vital for the Western European occupation of Asia, so alcohol has
always been used as a tool of oppression against the so-called Indians.To keep the stereotype in modern
circulation, two breweries have chosen to use Indian brand names for booze: one
called “Chief Crazy Horse” and the other one, “Oshkosh.”The people who identify themselves as
Indians—whether they are sober or drunk—are complaining about the use of these
two Indian Chiefs’ names, protesting that this scapegoat commercialization is
ruining their “good times” and their culture.What these two breweries are doing is not fair play.In order to create a level playing field,
they need to let their Indians brand a few kinds of brew—such as Old George
Washington, Pope John Paul Malt Liquor, Jesus Christ Lite (and Dark) and the
demon rum called “The Devil Made Me Do It.”They could sell liquor brands caricaturing White cultural icons in the
Indian Casinos.What’s fair is fair,
but the White man has never allowed his subject Indians access to his monopoly
on his economic system, although his entire monetary system is parasitic,
feeding off of the Aboriginal peoples’ resources.Even the so-called Indian Casinos are classical
minority-preference businesses, in which Real blood-quantum Indians are
fronting for the White man who created and defines Indians in his own agenda,
and runs and controls them.THE BELL CURVE: The bean-counters in Washington, D.C. are venturing onto
the sociologists’ turf, and are seriously considering the invention of official
designations for the new peoples, new ethnicities and new races engendered by
the Western Europeans’ greedy occupation of this land.The racial admixture of the U.S. population
has become so blended that Whites’ arrogant claims of “bell curve distribution”
of intelligence were obsolete before the Bell Curve became a widely accepted
statistical tool.(With the new
mixtures, some so-called Americans are really getting “smart.”)Rumor has it that a new racial category,
tentatively called “mixed,” will be used on the year 2000 census.A number of clever descriptions have also
been proposed to describe the Western Europeans’ “diversity” which they have
created to obscure the real, patrilineally Western European identity of their
relatives whom they would like to oppress as lower-class subject people.Some have suggested that the “melting pot”
metaphor for the mongrelizing and hybridizing of the people here be renamed “a
salad bar mixture,” although nobody has specified which groups will be the
“lettuce,” “turnip,” and “pea.”Other
possible neologisms and new euphemisms for the mixing of races which is an
inevitable consequence (along with new diseases such as AIDS and “Gulf War
Syndrome”) of the Western Europeans’ violent war-and-peace have also been
proposed.The Census Bureau has been
inundated with suggestions (they should have a contest), including: Heinz 57,
“United Nations,” The Duke’s Mixture, “six of one and a half dozen of another,”
and Nuts-and-Bolts or “Chex Party Mix.”
Speaking of “party mix,” years ago—and before the Bell Curve—the White man
called other groups of people, who he did not know or understand, who were not
under his control or domination, “wanderers” and “nomadic people.”The ambiguities and the euphemisms in the
language change, and now the Western European (mixed-blood) people here call themselves
“highly mobile,” and complain about “jet lag.”The White man claims, “we are ahead of our time—we even have Daylight
Saving Time, we are making money and saving time.”The horse-and-buggy days are gone.The people who call themselves “Americans” are so highly mobile
that significant numbers of the population are conceived in the back seat of a
car or a Humpmobile, often as a result of what is called a “quickie,” and a lot
of these Speedy Americans are born in the back seat of a car or a taxicab,
going about 70 miles an hour to the hospital.But then again, when they die, these “time is money” fast-living
Americans take their sweet time going to the cemetery in a funeral procession
at 20 miles an hour, creating traffic chaos and gridlock in every
direction.Could it be that they’ve
been lied to so much about the “hereafter” that they really don’t want to go
and they’re dragged, kicking and screaming, out to the cemetery; or is it a
consequence of the “White lie” of the two-dimensional Bell Curve of the “highly
mobile Americans.”Well, anyway, have a
happy Thanksgiving.

Nation (We, the People): Staffwriter Gary Blair’s article in the October 28 Ojibwe
News was headlined, “Indian Chamber of Commerce faces dilemma: Who is an

Abstract: Staffwriter Gary Blair’s article in the October 28 Ojibwe News
was headlined, “Indian Chamber of Commerce faces dilemma: Who is an
Indian?”In his article, Blair observed
that “many of the Indian chamber members ... are only Indian when they’re at
chamber meetings.”The Minnesota
American Indian Chamber of Commerce is confronted with the same dilemma as the
U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs—that, because of the genocide, there aren’t
enough Aboriginal Indigenous people to act as Indians, but the Bureau has been
solving this problem since the early 1800’s by creating their own Indians from
the ranks of their patrilineally European “minority” people.Blood runs thicker than water, and not only
are they resurrecting dead Indians as absentee voters, they are also using
their paternally White relatives to resurrect entire Bands of Indians.I suppose that the day will come when they
will “discover” that whole Tribes of Indians formerly thought to be “extinct”
can be unilaterally resurrected by re-enactment, using European subject people
as Acting Indians.Rather than
inefficiently re-defining one person at a time (and trying to validate “Indian
Princess” genealogies), the Indian Chamber of Commerce should go to the U.S.
Department of the Interior, where you can get a voucher issued for a whole new
Band of Indians, or a used blood-quantum Indian, or a blue-eyed full-blooded
BIA Indian.The BIA’s Acting
Superintendent can unilaterally create any number and many kinds of Acting Indians—why
not Rent-an-Indian, like some minority businesses do.HAIR-SPLITTING: In his book, “Race Relations,” Professor Brewton Berry
asks the question, “Who is an Indian.”He writes, “there are Indians (the writer has seen them on the Cherokee
Reservation in North Carolina) who have blue eyes, fair skin, and blond
hair.”In explaining Indian identity,
Berry cites legal definitions of “Indian” and “Negro,” observing that in the
State of Virginia, some people are forced into a dualistic identity, “Virginia regards
[these people] as Indians as long as they remain on a reservation.Should they move [off the Reservation],
however, they are regarded as colored [meaning Black or mixed-race
Negro].”Translated into plain English,
what he means is that on all of the 535 Indian Reservations, as long as the
Indians are living on the Rez, they can beat their pow-wow drums and wear their
Federally-licensed feathers.When they
leave the Reservation, they are re-defined by the White man into yet another
“ethnic” racial category, which reflects their real identity as Mediterraneans
mongrelized by the violent and rapacious Classical Empires of Western
Civilization.The State of Minnesota’s
racist definitions such as “Jackpine Nigger” and “burnt stump” are the reason
Reservation Indians have problems with racism in little towns like
Bemidji.They have been forced into a
chameleon dual identity, and the Good White Christians are “color-blind” in
their usual, peculiar and self-centered way, favoring “diversity” as long as everybody
else is just like they are, and under the White man’s centralized control.GIT ‘EM UP, SCOUT: According to the news, a woman was arrested in the
metropolitan skyways for wearing her traditional Muslim dress.The charges were “concealing her identity in
a public place,” but the Christians scored in forcing their right-wing values
on another group of people in this land of “religious tolerance.”There have been comments from members of the
public about making citizens’ arrests of people who are wearing ski masks,
although nobody has mentioned lipstick, beards, dark glasses, and wigs—or
“falsies,” “Annie-fannies,” American passports and Indian sovereignty.(I’m not going to say anything about
Polident, Preparation H, eyeglasses, and walking with a cane.)There are others who run around unimpeded
(cheered by the masses) in masks and long cape Tonto, who was categorically
identified by the BIA as a “dumb pagan,” didn’t dare wear a mask (for fear of
Rodney King police protection).I don’t
know on what reservation Tonto was enrolled—he never flashed his enrollment
card or talked about his blood quantum, like some of the BIA’s Great Wanna-Be
Chiefs.TERM LIMITS: One of the issues in this mid-term election across the U.S.
has been “term limits,” although no mainstream candidate, incumbent or aspiring,
has fully endorsed their own “term limit” (political suicide).To return to meaningful government, there
should also be “term limits” on political hacks, party bosses, and lobbyists.They need “term limits” on the old worn-out
issues that have been waved like red flags in front of the electorate for the
last half century, like abortion, gun control, crime, patriotism and “family
values.”If you don’t want to solve the
problems, why bring them up?Could it
be these are bread-and-butter issues for those in political power, and the
endless rhetoric on empty issues puts money in the incumbents’ pockets.The two political party-system has never
intended to act on these filibustering, gridlock issues—which are yet another
strategy of social engineering to keep the “unwashed masses,” peasants and
peons from rubbing elbows with the political elite.While we’re on the subject of “term limits,” there should be
irrevocable “sunset clauses” on every piece of legislation which creates a
subsidy for corporations and wealthy individuals—although the self-righteous
finger-pointers never talk about the upper-class, all of whom are engorging
themselves on Welfare (they wouldn’t be on this land if they had to depend on
their own resources).If the U.S.
Government is going to “subsidize,” why not give a subsidy to those earning the
sub-poverty minimum wage, and transform the minimum wage into a middle-class
“living wage” for the people whose labor is the foundation of the Euro-American
economy.A “living wage” should also be
paid to illegal nannies, migrant farm workers, and sweatshop “aliens.”DÉJA-VU: One of the aspiring Senatorial candidates, Rod Grams, summoned
Moses, a.k.a. Charlie Heston, down from Hollywood Mountain to accompany him on
the political stump circuit.Heston
finally revealed the Thirteenth Commandment: “It’s time to return to the ways
of those wise old dead white guys who started all this.”Hey, Charlie, if you’re going to return to
these dead ways, you should get your real identity and go back to your
ancestral homeland where all these dead white guys and their traditions
originated—the Aboriginal people didn’t invite you, or your God, to live here,
or to practice bigotry.The Religious
Reich of the Third Right backed democratically elected Reich-wingers, the “dead
white guys” Adolf Hitler and his deputy Herman Goering.Is this the kind of government your God is
in favor of, Charlie?
Speaking of dead White wise guys, why not resurrect right-wing Methodist
minister Colonel Chevington, who took the sword of God into his hands in
service of the U.S. Army, and led the Sand Creek massacre, killing every man,
woman, and child who was non-violently living at Sand Creek.Although most of these people were not Ahnishinahbæótjibway,
these were my Aboriginal relatives that your Minister of God slaughtered.The Aboriginal Indigenous people of this
Continent never massacred the White immigrants, Charlie—either on this
Continent or in Europe.For those
Whites who were killed (either by Army Scouts in Indian costume, or by the U.S.
Cavalry), a monument should be erected in their memory.Like the Vietnam Memorial, every one of
their names should be engraved in stone for posterity—although it’s a very
short list if you don’t count the ones killed in the movies or in inflammatory
nineteenth-century “reports” concocted to mold White public opinion in favor of
annihilating Aboriginal people and the subsequent grand land theft.

Nation (We, the People): The election is over, and you did it again!You said you were going to “kick the rascals
out,” and you voted the same old ones... Native American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: The election is over, and you did it again!You said you were going to “kick the rascals out,” and you voted
the same old ones, and some new ones who are just as bad or worse, right in to
office.The American electorate, most
of whom did not look beyond shallow campaign rhetoric of which candidate was
going to execute the most “criminals,” got just what they deserved for the next
term, while these newly elected rascals raise your taxes and steal your
autonomy and paycheck.If there isn’t a
big payoff, why would California Senatorial candidate spend $20 million of his
own money for a $90 thousand a year job, if he wasn’t going to get his investment
back (plus interest and a big tax break) in kickbacks and sweetheart contracts.1492 SYNDROME: California’s Proposition 187 made history as one of the
many election-year con jobs, diverting the attention of the voters—as the duly
elected government legislatively picked your pocket, while slapping you on the
back, kissing your babies, making sweet campaign promises and telling you what
a great sucker you are.The Sunday
Minneapolis Star Tribune quoted immigration reform advocate Sally Vaugn about
the massive Chicano demonstrations against Proposition 187: “How would people
in Minnesota feel if 100,000 Canadian immigrants marched through the streets of
Minneapolis carrying Canadian flags, shouting anti-American slogans? ... The
arrogance is just appalling.”The
ruckus over “illegal immigration” is like the pot calling the kettle
black.If you get right down to the
nitty-gritty, the people who call themselves “Canadians,” “Americans,” and
“Indians” are illegally here, squatters and carpet-baggers.The self-righteous people complaining about
“illegal immigration” are foreigners and outsiders themselves, living on stolen
land.ROLE PLAYING: According to the Los Angeles Associated Press, former
Acting President Reagan “disclosed ... that he has Alzheimer’s disease.”Reagan has spent too many years in
Hollywood.When he was elected
President in 1980, he didn’t know what was happening, he didn’t know where he
was going, and he didn’t know where he’d been.He’d had so many roles in the movies, it seemed as though being
President was just another acting job, and he got the difference between
playing roles and reality confused.For
Reagan, Alzheimer’s has come to the rescue, and is giving him a post-facto
justification for his most-often quoted sound bytes, “I don’t remember” or “I
don’t recall,” and his paraphrasing Dirty Harry, “Make my day.”KISSING COUSINS: Western
Civilization and their Indian identity have already destroyed the community and
the family, so that 90 closely related Shakopee Sioux can’t get along.I have always said that there is not one
issue about which the Indians can get together in solidarity, and I know—I’ve
tried to get people together to improve the community, and there are always
Indians who will stab you in the back.Maybe one of the problems was that I’m not an Indian and I’m not a White
man, and any time the Indians manage to get something done, there is always a
White man behind the scenes running things.One of the factors is also that the Indian doesn’t own his own identity—the
Indian identity is a fraudulent caricature which is given to him by the White
man, so that the Indians would be used to replace the Aboriginal people.Living a lie makes it impossible live
harmoniously.
The volatile issue about which the Shakopee Sioux are quarrelling is tribal
enrollment—and the per-capita payments from Mystic Lake Casino which come with
enrollment.The Shakopee Sioux are
Sovereign and are wards of the U.S. Government under trusteeship and the
self-proclaimed plenary power of Congress; and the Indian Casinos are minority
business front operations, where management decisions are being made by the
White man, as they always have been.Indians are kept—by their very identity—in a position of political
powerlessness, and part of the sham of the Indian identity is taking their frustrations
out on each other.That’s the way it’s
always been, on all the Indian Reservations and among other oppressed people.
Instead of quarrelling about “tribal enrollment” and who’s got more “Indian
blood,” why don’t they just pay the Casino per-capita payments proportionally,
on the basis of Indian blood: a person of 1/4 Indian blood would get 25% of
what an Indian fullblood would (if proportional per-capita payments were made
on the basis of Aboriginal blood, very few of them would get paid).If the Shakopee Sioux were to re-determine
their Indian blood quantum on the basis of their genealogy, some of the present
enrollees would get about ten bucks per capita, and some would get a buck three
eighty—but I guess that’s better than nothing.

Nation (We, the People): The immigrants are arguing about “treaties” under
their imported laws again. ... Native American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: The immigrants are arguing about “treaties” under their imported laws
again.The Sunday, May 15 Bemidji
Pioneer reprinted an article from the Associated Press reporting that Chief
U.S. District Judge Diana Murphy denied the State of Minnesota’s motion to
dismiss the U.S. Federal Government and their client organization, the 1934
I.R.A. Mille Lacs Band of Chippewa Indians’ lawsuit over hunting and fishing rights
presumed to have been “guaranteed” under the Indian treaty of July 29, 1837.
Western European culture is not based on hunting and fishing, and when the
European immigrants saw the Aboriginal Indigenous people hunting and fishing as
a part of our sustainable permaculture, they called us “primitive” and
“savage.”Since the early days of
“discoverer” (guided) tourism and invading pioneers, the European immigrants
have acculturated a little bit, and now some of them see hunting and fishing as
important—after the ecosystem which the Ahnishinahbæótjibway
maintained as an abundant paradise has been destroyed, and there is almost
nothing left to hunt or fish.Indian
culture (which is patrilineally Indo-European) may have been based on poaching
on the King’s Game Preserves in Europe, and the Métis ancestors of most of the
Indians were commercial hunters for the fur companies, who decimated the Ahnishinahbæó
tjibway fish and game, hunting some species into extinction, for a
few pieces of silver and a barrel of rotgut whiskey—and who did not have a
license from the people who owned the resources.
The issue to be heard in court is described by the Attorney General’s Office as
the “merits,” which do not have anything to do with whether there can be
hunting and fishing on the so-called “ceded” lands.Two of the three parties to the lawsuit—the 1934 I.R.A. Mille
Lacs band of Chippewa Indians, and the State of Minnesota, did not exist when
the 1837 Treaty was signed at St. Peters in Wisconsin Territory, and the people
who actually signed the Treaty were Western European subject people under the
jurisdiction of the United States.For
that matter, most of the non-White ancestors of the “Indians” who are now
enrolled in the Mille Lacs Band of Chippewa Indians, as the Department of the
Interior explains, “did not have rights as Indians [in 1837], for the reason
that they were mixed bloods, and mixed bloods were not recognized as Indians
until the treaty of 1847.”Under
Article 4 of treaty of August 2, 1847, these patrilineally White people were
officially categorized as “Chippewas of the Mississippi and Lake
Superior.”In 1860, another branch of
the United States Government was still counting these mixed-blood people as
“mulattos.”None of these official
classifications have anything to do with the peoples’ real identity.The people who signed the “Indian Treaties”
as “Indians,” even before 1847, were patrilineally White; they were not Ahnishinahbæótjibway.
This so-called “Indian Treaty” is not a matter of international law; it is an
internal affair of the United States, which has always owned both sides of this
treaty.(The reason that the United
States broke their “Indian Treaties” regularly, is because the U.S. signed
these treaties with themselves.)The
“Indians” have never owned anything on this Continent—they are patrilineally
Indo-European people whose ancestors were conscripted on the other side of the
Atlantic, and were brought here in chains to serve as involuntary labor.The Federally Recognized Indians still do
not own anything—they are Wards of the Government under Trusteeship.That the United States Government continues
to maintain Indo-European people as Federally Recognized Blood-Quantum Indians
is an open admission of the ongoing genocide and grand land theft of the
Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples.What are
called “Chippewa-Indian Treaties” were not negotiated nor written in the Ahnishinahbæótjibway
language.They were negotiated in two
hierarchical languages with Indo-European roots, English and Chippewa (and are
recorded and archived only in the English language).The new round of Indian Treaty-related negotiations will be
conducted only in English (or, to be more precise, Philadelphia Lawyerese).I guess that shyster lawyers will be the new
Treaty Interpreters.

The United States Government is using their subject people, who they name
“Federally Recognized Indians,” in an unique scam: the Federal
Instrumentalities known as 1934 I.R.A. “Sovereign Indian Governments” are a
front for the dummy corporations known as “Indian Tribal Councils,” which are
controlled through the non-democratic bureaucracy under the United States
Executive branch.The furor and White
Backlash over Indian hunting and fishing (particularly spearfishing) is drawing
attention away from the “Indian Gaming” casinos operated under the jurisdiction
of the United States Government.The
issue which will be determined in Federal Court is whether the State of
Minnesota or the U.S. Government will be the party issuing hunting and fishing
licenses to the “Indians” under separate and unequal apartheid, Jim Crow
“Indian Government.”The Indians have
always been able to go hunting and fishing in the so-called “ceded” lands—all
they had to do was buy a hunting or fishing license under English and Roman
law, just like the other immigrant Citizens do.JIM CROW PRIMARY:
On Friday, May 13, there was a special meeting of the Red Lake Chip-away Tribal
Council called. According to rumor, the purpose of this meeting was to
“investigate” the candidates in the upcoming 1934 I.R.A. elections, and to
eliminate any who are classified by the United States Government as Federal
Felons, from running for election in the Indians’ unique Sovereign, separatist
Government.I said to one of the Tribal
Members who was at the meeting, “this is a strange way to hold a primary.”He replied, “So, what else is new?They just make laws whenever it’s
convenient, to suit themselves.”I went
to the meeting as a photographer; waited for forty-five minutes and nothing
happened in the public part of the building, and so I left.PETITIONS:
In order to legitimize and authenticate the 1934 I.R.A. “Indian Democracy,”
there have always been petitions after the elections—why break the traditions
now?You can make the process more
efficient, and get your petitions ready.Instead of rushing around after the elections, trying to get signatures
before the five-day waiting period is up, start the petition process now.For each of the special-interest groups, you
will need a Chairman: a Chairman of the Dissidents, a Chairman of the
Malcontents, a Chairman of the Sore Losers Committee, a Chairman of the Sour
Grapes Committee, a Chairman of the Outsiders Committee, a Chairman of the
Absentee Ballot and Mail Fraud Committee, a Chairman of the Supporters of the
Chairman-For-Life Committee, a Chairman of the Outside Agitators Committee, a
Chairman of the Snivelers’ and Whiners’ Committee, a Chairman of the Envious
Rival Factions Committee, a Chairman of the Disappointed Committee, a
Chairperson of the Comité Pour Le Culture Indién, two Chairmen and a Vice
Chairman for the Greed Committee, a Lawyer for the Chairman of the Embezzlers’
Committee, and least and last, a Chairman of the Rabble-Rousers.

Nation (We, the People): The Indians clear across the country, including here
at Red Lake, celebrated their “Independence” on the Fourth of July. ... Native
American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: The Indians clear across the country, including here at Red Lake,
celebrated their “Independence” on the Fourth of July.There were many dancing contests with
big-bucks prizes, drumming and singing.The Warrior Societies were celebrating their many wars, and honoring two
hundred and eighteen years of “freedom” for the Indians, under their “unique”
relationship with the United States of America, “the land of the Free and the
home of the Brave.”S. 1021:
If you don’t know what Senate Bill 1021, of the 103rd U.S. Congress, first
session is, then you Indians had better find out quick.The short title is: “Native American Free
Exercise of Religion Act of 1993.”In
the United States Constitution, the First Amendment is often cited as guaranteeing
“freedom of religion,” which isn’t exactly what it does—the text of this part
of the First Amendment reads, “Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”Because there was no explicit Constitutional
guarantee, under the alien Roman and English Law of the United States, or under
the Indian Law derived from it, the United States Department of War and
Department of the Interior had no problem generating bureaucratic regulations
and actions naming “Indians” but aimed at annihilating Ahnishinahbæótjibway
and other Aboriginal Indigenous peoples’ religious philosophies and practices.
I spent nine years as a political prisoner of the United States Government, in
the Roman Catholics’ boarding school—held there under the immigrant Europeans’
regulations which were enforced under imported Roman Law.We were told that because of our ancient
Midé tradition, we were “Pagans,” and that we “worshipped the Devil.”Our own resources were used (disbursed by
the United States), to pay intolerant people, including the Catholic Nuns who
told us, “the only good Indian is a dead Indian,” and “you are the Vanishing
Americans, and you will go.”The
formative documents of present United States “Indian Policy,” including both
the transcripts of the Lake Mohonk Conferences and the Annual Reports of the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, are filled with references to their long-term
goals of abolishing the Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ religion, language and
culture, and then, forcible Christianization of the survivors of this
Holocaust.“Indians” have always been
used by the Euro-Americans as an euphemism to obscure what is being done to the
Aboriginal Indigenous People.
The policy-makers of the United States Government know that they are
descendants of illegal immigrants to this Continent, and that they are a
Judeo-Christian State, “one Nation under [their foreign] God;” which runs into
conflict with the egalitarian, harmonious and non-violent Aboriginal Indigenous
Traditional philosophies/religions.It
is clear from scrutinizing S. 1021 that long-term policy of the Euro-Americans
hasn’t changed in the last century.The
snake-oil salesmen and the shyster lawyers who work in the back rooms for the
Senate Committee on Indian Affairs have masked the genocidal and historical
revisionist intent of their proposed legislation behind flowery language and
reeking red herrings.The way that S.
1021 hedges its definitions, cites authorities for jurisdiction including the
elastic clause of the U.S. Constitution, and uses a purportedly altruistic
purpose to try to redefine Aboriginal Indigenous people as “Indians” under the
jurisdiction of the Indian Tribal Councils and the related system of Indian Law
which the U.S. created, makes it clear that the authors and sponsors of the
Bill know exactly what they are doing.One of the things which S. 1021 does, is establish an Indian cult—a
cheap imitation of the Aboriginal Indigenous religions/philosophies.
No matter what they say or write, Euro-American law has no jurisdiction over
the Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples of this Continent, nor over the land.Judeo-Christianity is used as the reference
point in this Bill because the Honorable Senators apparently understand enough
of their own history to know that the U.S. claims to the eminent domain on this
continent rest on imported Judeo-Christian dogma and brazen assertion backed by
force.There is no need for an “Indian
Freedom of Religion Act” for Indians, who were born subjects of the
Judeo-Christian empire, and in fact the requirement in S. 1021 for “aboriginal
ancestry” excludes a great many of the U.S.’ Federally Recognized blood-quantum
Indians from “protection” under the proposed legislation.The United States Government is promoting
“Indian law” to obscure both their bloody history and their present intent. So-called “Indian law” has absolutely nothing
to do with Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ philosophies, laws, religions,
culture, traditions, and values.Aboriginal Indigenous People are always invisible in United States laws,
except for attempts to re-define us and our land as “Indian.”The land of this Continent has never been
“Indian land,” and we, the Ahnishinahbæótjibway have our own
ancient identity, and do not need to have a racist parody of an identity
imposed on us by illegal aliens.
Senator Wellstone and Senator Inouye: “have you no sense of decency?”DÉJA-VU:
The Sunday Minneapolis Star Tribune featured an interview with the versatile
lawyer, Jeff Chaffee, who is said to argue either side of a case “with
enthusiasm.”At the Mille Lacs Treaty
Trial in Minneapolis, which side he is on doesn’t make much difference, because
it’s all Roman Law, so the White man was already the “winner” before the Trial
opened under his rules.As an attorney
for the State, Mr. Chaffee questioned Mille Lacs elder Herman Kegg, and
according to the Star Tribune, thus “established ... that he accepted the
authority of the state to regulate natural resources” because Mr. Kegg bought
State hunting and fishing licenses.Was
Mr. Kegg accepting the invaders’ and immigrants repressive, racist Roman Law,
and does he also accept the Indian law which is derived from Roman Law?The author of the newspaper article, Pat
Doyle, does not write whether Mr. Kegg is Ahnishinahbæótjibway
with a Dodem, or if he has a White patriline—although some of the people
involved in the Mille Lacs Trial know.The issue is critical, because if he is an Indian with a White
patriline, he is automatically under State jurisdiction and has to buy a
license, whether it’s from the Federal Instrumentality of the 1934 I.R.A. Mille
Lacs R.B.C., or from the State of Minnesota.If he is Ahnishinahbæótjibway, with a Dodem, then the
only reason he was buying a license was to avoid harassment—but if he has a
Dodem, then his testimony at the Treaty Trial is irrelevant, because the Indian
Treaties and United States Roman/English laws have no jurisdiction over him.POLITICS:
The Independent Republicans nominated the Reverend Allen Quist as their
endorsed candidate for Governor of the State of Minnesota.To get this endorsement, Quist vowed that he
would stand by the planks in the I.R. Party Platform.But now, he is standing by a huge bonfire he has made out of the
Party planks that are not in accord with his fundamentalist Kristianity.When questioned about the issue of abortion,
Quist said that there should be a State-mandated waiting period.His evangelical right-wing philosophy is
about nine months.

Nation (We, the People): The Native American Press/Ojibwe News scooped
all the White Man’s in-house (mainstream) newspapers ... Native American
Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: The Native American Press/Ojibwe News scooped all the White
Man’s in-house (mainstream) newspapers, by reporting the Indian Reorganization
Act election fraud at White Earth in meticulously documented detail.The September 30 issue reported the
indictment of the Chair of the White Earth Election Board.The elections, the candidates, and the
inherent fraud is not the issue.Crooked elections have been standard misuse of taxpayers funds in White
Indian Country since the U.S. Congress enacted the 1934 I.R.A.For years, some of the Federally Recognized
Indians have been complaining about crooked elections.Gathering signatures and filing petitions
about fraudulent Indian elections after every election is part of the Indian
election process designed by the B.I.A., intended to generate enthusiasm and
other strong feelings (including ignorance) about I.R.A. democracy, and to
authenticate and validate the jurisdiction of this White man’s colonial system
by gathering signatures.Even if the
outcome of the election was fixed by the Superintendent before the ballots were
cast, the Indians enthusiastically participate in the B.I.A.’s version of
democracy by selling their votes several times, and protesting the election
results, sometimes violently.The
Bureau’s bureaucrats refer to the standard post-election situation on the
Reservations as “a very volatile situation.”Because Indians are wards of the government under trusteeship, there is
no legal redress for election fraud in Reservation politics. As former Commissioner of Indian Affairs
explained to a group of malcontents and dissidents, “You don’t have a
government!”The “Indian Tribal
Governments” established by the B.I.A. under the authority of the U.S.
Congress’ 1934 I.R.A. are puppet governments which are designed serve the
purposes of the United States Government and Corporations.The primary function of the “duly elected
tribal officials” is to lease land, sell timber and mining rights, and take a few
kickbacks to keep the in-group Indians docile.They beat their White grandfathers’ drum for a few bucks, and do P.R. by
embodying caricatures of Real Feathered Indians for the White media.The B.I.A. also keeps their Indians under
control by distracting their attention from the real problems and “saving
Indians from their tendencies to self-destruct.”The politically inclined, the Demonstrators and the apathetic
Indians are all kept busy worrying about crooked elections and that old
carrot-on-a-stick which is called “payment,” instead of looking at the
underlying issues.
Ms. Carly “Baby Doll” Jasken, chairwoman of the White Earth Election Board, was
indicted for “obstruction of justice” after she shredded ballots.U.S. Agent Dave Barnes is said to have
instructed her not to tamper with the ballots, but he then left them in her
possession for two weeks after serving a subpoena requesting this incendiary
evidence.This Enrolled Indian
Frenchwoman (a faded burnt stump) obeyed the implicit suggestion of Dave Barnes
to keep the gravy train on track.She
destroyed the paper trail leading to the big culprits and the supposedly “good
guys.”The cut-and-dry mail fraud case
that the United States Government was investigating is gone, because Barnes
apparently told Baby Doll she was “sovereign,” and could shred the evidence
with impunity.Mail fraud and
R.I.C.O.-statute racketeering are serious crimes which have set precedents of
sending criminals to prison for long sentences—look at what happened to Jimmy
Hoffa.There is no precedent of sending
election board members or anyone else to jail for a crooked election.Barnes and Baby Doll should be prosecuted
under the R.I.C.O. Statutes and for destroying the evidence in a Federal Mail
Fraud case—but the way the case is being handled, the only penalty will be a
slap on the wrist for Baby Doll (and probably a promotion for Barnes).RESURRECTION: The United States Government is running out of Indians—the
intended result of U.S. policies in the past.The General Allotment Act was social engineering designed to destroy
both the Aboriginal and Indian communities within three generations.After the Aboriginal communities were nearly
destroyed, the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act brought back the Indians, and
entrenched the plush patronage jobs in the B.I.A. bureaucracy, so Friends of
Politicians could continue pigging out on public pork.But, the 1934 I.R.A. also created “Base
Rolls,” and the Indian Agent can no longer turn pure White people into Indians
with a stroke of the pen—now, in order to get Indians, the Indian Agent has to
conscript a “Squaw Man” for stud service.But, the B.I.A.’s Blood Quantum Indians are slowly being diluted.
The Disney Corporation wanted to put an amusement park in Virginia, but it was
voted out.Mickey Mouse and History
According to Disney are abstract cartoon concepts.Speaking of abstract and mythological thinking, the Bureau of
Indian Affairs is resurrecting Indian Tribes which had gone extinct.They also computerized the enrollment lists
of other Michigan Indian Tribes which were on the edge of extinction, using the
mystique of Modern Technology to redefine “blood quantum” so that their Indians
with 63/64 White blood will get 1/4 or more Indian Blood Quantum.This is also known as “blood runs thicker
than water.”Instead of just bringing a
few deceased Indian voters to the polls, in Michigan and on the East Coast, the
Bureau is resurrecting whole Indian Bands of mythological Indian Tribes.(Most of the Aboriginal people who lived there
were killed a hundred a years ago.)These
New Indians will vote in the Bureau’s crooked elections, and will be costumed
and paraded to show the world that there are more Real Indians living now, than
when Columbus landed.(The only problem
is that the Bureau’s New Indians are not Aboriginal people, whether the B.I.A.
gives them matrilineal Indian Clans or not.)The precedent was set at White Earth, where the 1934 I.R.A. was brought
onto White Earth by voters of 1/64 Indian blood quantum (and less), and the
deceased not only voted regularly, but also married, wrote wills and sold
land.Election fraud is only a symptom
of the U.S. Government’s fraudulent Indian system, which has been corrupt since
the first Indian Treaty was signed.

= (a.k.a. Francis Blake, Jr. (1994). Reflections from the Ahnishinahbæótjibway
Nation (We, the People): The Northern Minnesota town of Squaw Lake is in the
news. ... Native American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: The Northern Minnesota town of Squaw Lake is in the news.The June 10 issue of Bill Lawrence’s Native
American Press reported that Angeline Losh and Dawn Litzau are working to
remove the name “squaw” from place names in Northern Minnesota.According to newspaper reports, these young
women have learned that the word “squaw” is a racist stereotype of presumably
vulgar origin.I don’t know of anybody
who likes to be called “squaw,” or to have any other racist, stereotypical
labels used on them, such as “N*gger Buck,” “Inj*n Buck,” “Drunken Indian,”
“Lazy Indian,” “Dirty Indian,” ad nauseam.In spite of the human misery that it causes, race-baiting has been a
sporting event in Euro-American culture for a long time.The capitol city of the United States of
America is Number One in promoting fictional racist stereotypes under the guise
of having a good time (and making big bucks in the process), with the
Washington Redskins and the Tomahawk Chop.
In Ahnishinahbæótjibway culture, there are no stereotypes or
name-calling.Because of the Ahnishinahbæótjibway
language, our people have manners and respect, we are polite, and we have lived
in harmony with the environment here for the past million years or so, which is
why our ecosystem was intact and our land was a paradise.The Western European immigrant peoples
apparently have no manners at all, nor any respect for anybody, even
themselves—as they have demonstrated by going into other Peoples’ lands,
destroying and polluting Grandmother Earth, and promoting their abstract
dichotomy of the Devil and God.
Western European racism is so entrenched in Euro-American culture and values
that I don’t know if Ms. Losh and Ms. Litzau’s efforts at eliminating the word
“squaw” from local place names will be successful.Instead of fighting an uphill battle against vested interests who
profit from the use of racist and sexist epithets to make themselves feel
superior (and ease their consciences while they steal Ahnishinahbæótjibway
property and resources), these dedicated and socially aware students could flow
with the Judeo-Christian values that they’re being asked to assimilate into,
although rather than assimilating they can help the Western European immigrants
integrate.Instead of changing the name
of Squaw Lake, they could acknowledge that racism is endemic in Euro-America,
and organize a fund-raising effort to erect a huge Monument to racist
stereotypes in downtown Squaw Lake.Instead of fighting the Chamber of Commerce, they could get the Big Buck
City Fathers go along with their cause, and promote politically incorrect
tourism.As the most racist city in the
U.S.A., they could have travel posters and brochures, T-shirts and bumper
stickers; and put up a huge statute of a Squaw Man, with his squaws and
papooses, by Squaw Lake.They could
take the concept of Squaw Lake and really get into it, and rename the
streets.Can you imagine the publicity,
and consequent tourist dollars, that N*gger Avenue, H*nky Drive, K*yke Way, W*p
Street, and a dead-end street named “A Chinaman’s Chance” in downtown Squaw
Lake, would generate?The Good Ol’ Boys
who run the town could encourage everybody in town to get involved, having the
Hospitality Industry change the names of the bars in Squaw Lake to “The Red-Neck
Ranch,” “The Praise-The-Lord Saloon,” and “The Gringo Greenback.”The Pillars of Squaw Lake could also change
the names of the other public establishments to match the image automatically
conveyed by the name of their town, such as changing the name of the police
station to “The Gestapo Headquarters” of the S.S., because they are using
imported Western European (Roman) Laws to maintain an hierarchical social
structure. These are the same laws as were used by the Democratically elected
Chancellor of Nazi Germany, and the same laws which were used by the immigrant
Europeans to name the town Squaw Lake in the first place.ENGLISH SECOND:
When I was forced into Boarding School, I was not allowed to speak my
egalitarian Aboriginal Indigenous language of Ahnishinahbæótjibway.I was beaten for speaking my own language,
and for many years, I had use of very little language at all.The immigrant Euro-Americans are still using
the compulsory education system to destroy the Ahnishinahbæótjibway
language, this time by teaching Chippewa as a fake substitute.Chippewa is a Creole trade language with an
Indo-European hierarchical structure.
Like most other Ahnishinahbæótjibway who spent our formative
years speaking our own language, I had a very difficult time learning how to
read, write, and speak the imported Western European English language.I asked a number of well-educated native
speakers of American English what the key to understanding their language was,
and although it was right in front of them, none of them realized that the
hierarchical structure of the English language was a critical barrier to an
Aboriginal Indigenous person learning that language.I am also amazed by the ways in which Western $ivilization uses
language to manipulate, mentally imprison, and psychologically enslave their
own citizens.Included in these vicious
linguistic structures is linear thinking, which creates a misleading and narrow
world-view, and generates a perspective which distorts reality into lies.The abstractions which are the foundation of
the imported Western European languages are also very alien to an Aboriginal
Indigenous way of thinking, misleading and nonsensical, and I have heard many
old Ahnishinahbæótjibway laughing about how strangely
abstract thinking makes the immigrant Europeans talk and behave.Abstractions may be OK in math, but they are
very foolish when the Euro-Americans try to apply them to reality.
Language patterns how a person looks at the world, and by defining their
interaction with the world, regulates their behavior.An example is the Ahnishinahbæótjibway
language, which is both male and female, and synergizes the harmony which kept
this Continent beautiful.On the other
hand, Western European languages are based on an unbalanced caricature of
maleness, and define the world in terms of power and greed.Imported Euro-American English relates to
Grandmother Earth in obscenities which the English-speaking Leaders describe as
“He-Man” terms of domination, prostitution and beating; as “virgin wilderness”
to be penetrated; as a frontier for pioneers to outflank; and as “resources” to
be raped and plundered, bought and sold, and otherwise exploited.An example is the “Mille Lacs Treaty” which
is presently in the news, often in the sports section.The so-called Indian Treaties were recorded
only in English.Even if the Chippewa
language into which the treaties were mis-translated had been recorded, it
would still have the same consequences as the English-language document—the
Chippewa language also has an abstract, Indo-European structure.The Chippewa Indians have the same values,
and are a part of the same system, as the other Indo-Europeans.Chippewa Indians are defined by
Congressional con artists and other Constitutional front-men as Sovereign wards
of the Government under Trusteeship, and under Roman Law, no matter who wins
the Mille Lacs “treaty-rights” case, the “resources” will end up under the
control of the White man.Notwithstanding the fact that most of the Indian Treaties were signed by
professional Indian Treaty-Signers, the whole Chippewa Indian Treaty scam is in
the abstract of Western European $ivilization, has nothing to do with Ahnishinahbæótjibway
reality, and has neither roots nor validity on this Continent.
The English language is designed to disconnect and alienate its speakers from
nature, and it is difficult for most native speakers of English to understand
what is wrong with “exploiting resources,” for example.My Ahnishinahbæótjibway language
is connected, alive, and in harmony with Grandmother Earth.In translating the meaning of “exploiting
resources” into Ahnishinahbæót jibway, it becomes very clear
what is wrong with such exploitation.
The imported language, American English, is a patriarchal male-parody language,
which was profoundly influenced by the Catholic Priests, who were almost the
only people who could read and write for several centuries in Europe.The Holy Roman Monastery establishments,
which were the centers of European academic learning at that time, had their
world-view set by men who had no intimate relationship at all with women—even
their relationship with their own mothers was in the abstract, mythologized by
their language and perverted by their dogma.Western European and Euro-American White women do not have an
identity.They are defined and crippled
by the patriarchal European languages, in terms set by a homosexual and/or
celibate, misogynistic priesthood, which at times had such ritual practices as
burning women at the stake.Euro-American women couldnot
vote until the 1920’s, and are still defined in the English language as
chattel, which means “property without what is required to be a human
being.”The English language also
defines those people who choose to allow themselves be called “Indian” in very
derogatory terms.Indians do have an
identity of their own, but not as Indians, which is a racist and artificial
definition by immigrant Europeans. The so-called “Indians” could take
responsibility for their own identity—they know who they are.
Even when they are not being called “squaws,” English (or Chippewa) speaking
Indian women are caught under the double, demeaning, Indo-European language
definitions of “Indian” and “woman.”These languages have been developed over the centuries to conceptually
chain women to a patriarchal world-view, and simultaneously to separate them
from Aboriginal Indigenous understandings.Some anthropologists have described this separation as a “glass wall,”
although they do not understand that this prison wall is an illusion in their
own minds, generated by their language.Aboriginal Indigenous women define themselves, in harmony with men,
Grandmother Earth, and the Universe, through our egalitarian Aboriginal
Indigenous languages which are a balance of male and female, harmonious and
with no linguistic structure for holding power over another.White women, and other female speakers of
Indo-European languages, do not have the vocabulary or the grammar to describe
who they really are, nor to talk about what they feel inside of themselves nor
how their inner nature leads them to see the real world, because they are
blinded, crippled, and made fundamentally mute by their male-centered
languages.There is no communication, and
the White man does not know anything about women, even though he defines
them.When White and other hierarchical
women rediscover the balanced male and female harmony of the Aboriginal
Indigenous languages, and re-create their own vocabulary and grammar, then they
can take back their world.BACK TO THE ABSTRACT WORLD:
The off-again, on-again news media has changed their focus away from the
Arkansas S & L and Whitewater.The
Evangelical Right has set a precedent on the President, and is skirting the Establishment
Clause of the U.S. Constitution very narrowly by promoting a sexual-harassment
suit against the President.I have
always wondered about Fundamentalist, Right-Wing politics.I finally realized that why they act so
weird is that they have a Methodist God and a Presbyterian Devil, and their
Catholic Archangels compound the confusion.The High Priests of Judeo-Christianity have always abused women to
advance their own vested interests.Their latest version of a very old scam, is promising Paula Jones fame
and fortune, including television appearances, a book, and lots of money, which
she pledges she will “donate to Charity.”This is the New Right-Wing Evangelical version of “The Devil in Miss
Jones.”

Nation (We, the People): The October 21 Native American Press published

the Interior to the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, ... Native American
Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: The October 21 Native American Press published letters
submitted by community members, including one from the Department of the
Interior to the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, authorizing establishment of the
“Minnesota Chippewa [Indian] Courts,” and a second from BIA lawyer James M.
Schoessler offering the South Philadelphia back-alley shyster opinion that
establishing an Indian Tribal Court for the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe is not in
violation of the MCT 1934 IRA Constitution [although the 1934 IRA Constitution
is a human rights violation] and “is a major victory for the Tribe and
Bands.”In an accompanying letter to
the Assistant Secretary of Indian Affairs, also published by the NAP, Lowell
Bellanger observes that the proposed Tribal Court will “set up a ... system
whereby corrupt tribal judges and so-called ‘elected’ people will be able to
try themselves and escape justice.”The
BIA’s decision to establish what they call a Tribal Court turkey-feathers the
bureaucrats’ nests, maintains their lucrative positions to administer
sweetheart contracts, enables them to continue pigging out on perks at the
public trough, ensures their golden-parachute retirement, and re-entrenches the
Bureau’s pit-bull hold on their puppet IRA Tribal and Band Governments.
The timing of the BIA’s decision is just at the right moment for incumbents to
appoint Tribal Judges who will try these very same incumbents for election
fraud—and in this Western European archetype of Democracy, Wadena and his
crooked cronies will acquit themselves and set themselves free using post-facto
BIA Indian Sovereignty and other uniquely creative legalistic shell games.The Bureau has apparently unilaterally
repealed Public Law 280 and State jurisdiction, and is supporting MCT
incumbents because the BIA’s very existence depends on their corrupt in-house
IRA Indian politicians.(I don’t know
what kind of back-room turf deal was cut between Federal bailiwicks in
Washington to “take care of” the mail fraud which continues on 535 Indian
reservations in conjunction with the dead-vote.)Vernon Bellecourt and Camp Justice are gathering petitions to
challenge the White Earth IRA election and oust Wadena, but they’ll never get
enough signatures, because the BIA and Wadena have the keys to the voting
booths in the cemetery, and the polls are not in your favor, Vernon. Although
the BIA may be subsidizing you “dissidents” through third parties and
front-men, to hench as token opposition, it’s an old tradition of the Bureau to
promote factions and obscure reality and honest Injuns.Hats off to Euro-American Democracy!Crooked Judge Lynch and his favorite
sidekick Chief Jim Crow ride again, just like the Lone Ranger and Tonto.THE BELL CURVE:The Western
European social scientists’ all-purpose statistical tool, the “Bell Curve,” is
as crooked as a dog’s hind leg that’s been broken in three places, and couldn’t
be mended even with a level Chi Square or a straight face.The Sunday Minneapolis Star Tribune
reprinted a review from the New York Times of a book, “The Bell Curve,”
co-authored by a deceased Harvard psychologist, “which suggests that
differences in intelligence between races are a matter of inheritance,” rather
than looking at the violent social reality which favors Northern European
Whites.(The playing field is not level
when it comes to White definitions of I.Q.—the deck is stacked and the dice are
loaded.)The reviewer’s criticism
focuses on his observation that “racial categories, especially in the United
States, are often more poetry than science.American blacks almost invariably have some white ancestry, so their
classification has more to do with politics and culture than with genes.”Descriptions of race and mixed-race
invariably ignore the genealogical fact that almost all people identified as
“Americans”—including most Blacks, Indians, Jews, and Hispanics—have a White
patriline.This used to be called
“miscegenation;” in forked-tongue Anglo-English, it’s called “diversity.”My, my, tsk, tsk, how Crooked English hides
the constant corruption of the status quo.
In the 1860’s, the U.S. Census dealt with mixed race using an illusion of
precision, buying time with artificial categories such as “mulatto.”The problem is still here, and the social
engineers are re-naming it in Crooked English, again.Now, the U.S. Census Bureau is seriously considering adding the
category “mixed race” to the year 2000 Census.The people who like to call themselves “upper class White Americans” are
fleeing their own identity, and hiding their roots and their origins.Instead of admitting who they are, they are
neurotically re-creating the abusive conditions of their Old Countries.The reality is that the Lily-White European
immigrants have already been mongrelized in the endless wars, rape and plunder
which raged back and forth across Europe for more than a millennium before
these hybridized White Anglo-Saxon Protestants got here and unilaterally
created the self-serving illusion of Diversity they call “mixed races” in their
insatiable greed.
What they call the Melting Pot is a euphemism for: Anglo control of the White
dollar-economic system and their imported system of laws which rapes and
plunders the Aboriginals’ resources and systematically discriminates against
non-white men; and permissive “wink-and-slap-on-the-back” laws condoning rapes
committed by White men against non-White women and the land we call our
Grandmother Earth (what they ambiguously euphemize as “resource management” is
really rape).The “Melting Pot” can
never work, because of the White economic system, and because the laws are all unilaterally
White, including the prison system.What really comes out of this burnt Melting Pot is a putrid smokescreen
derived from a stinking red herring and other rotten residue of Manifest
Destiny, which masks the hideous bigotry embedded in the imported Anglo-White
culture and foreign English language.SENATORIAL DIATRIBE: Senate Candidates Rod Grams and Ann Wynia had a
media event orchestrated by Minnesota Public Television on October 21st.This carefully controlled spoon-feeding of
illusory “Democracy” was heavily promoted by PBS as “citizen participation,”
and was itself a pitiful reflection of the cynically elitist parody of fairness
which is touted as the Great American System.A Citizen in the Lunchroom, Mark Anderson, asked a question about “family
values” and “diversity.”Neither one of
the Candidates gave a meaningful answer, probably because neither one of them
knew anything about a family—they never really had one.Western Civilization depends on destruction
of family and community, and polarization between generations.Replacing the extended family with the
Nation-State and the Great White Father maintains the class system and the
status quo.This is why the United
States enacted their genocide policy of forcing Aboriginal children into
Boarding Schools, intentionally destroying our Aboriginal families
(Dodemian—which are very different from what the White man labels “bands” and
“tribes”) and brainwashing us into the fraudulent pseudo-identity of “Indian,”
which they now define as “Diversity” under their rigid control.“Diversity,” translated from Anglo-English,
is a rainbow of Apples and Oreos and Bananas and Uncle Toms and Uncle
Tomahawks: people with White patrilines who are all White on the inside,
paraphrasing their Great White Father in the Big House as they claim to “speak
for” their distant non-White maternal relatives.HOT FLASHES: Rod Grams, when asked about “diversity,” answered that he
advocated the unilateral imposition of “English First.”The White-WASP Language Police are talking
about a Constitutional Language Amendment, while they “fight crime” by building
more jails.Unilateral laws to enforce
English First are lurking over the horizon.According to my crystal ball, the penalty for first offense of speaking
any language but English will be 90 days in jail, although Whites speaking
Norwegian or German will get a slap on the wrist and community [which
community???] service as a warning—the first time.The penalty for a second offense will be a year in jail (at hard
labor if it’s a non-European language).To play ball in the New Diversity, the California Initiative is “three
strikes and you’re out”—the BIA has already established the “legal” precedent.This is also known as “multi-culturalism”
and “equal opportunity” in this “great Land of the Free,” where because of
unilateral Lily-White legal and economic systems, Citizens of Color are forever
in hot pursuit of elusive illusions of Happiness.

= (a.k.a. Francis Blake, Jr. (1994). Reflections from the Ahnishinahbæótjibway
Nation (We, the People): The Red Lake 1934 I.R.A. Tribal elections are over,
and Bobby Whitefeather is the new shadow Chairman of the Red Lake Band of
Chip-away Indians ... Native American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: The Red Lake 1934 I.R.A. Tribal elections are over, and Bobby
Whitefeather is the new shadow Chairman of the Red Lake Band of Chip-away
Indians (representing the B.I.A.), just as I predicted.My 99.99% accurate forecast did not have
anything to do with seeing into the future—the I.R.A. Indian elections are
socially engineered, and the winners, who administer the United States’ I.R.A.
colonial government, have been chosen by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and their
cohort political hacks long before the elections are ever held.
The Sunday, May 29 Bemidji Pioneer describes the new Chip-away Indian Band
Chairman’s vision as “forming a number of task forces to define reservation
problems and solutions ...”The social
problems on Red Lake Indian Reservation—and in the relocation urban ghettos—are
an intentional and necessary part of the immigrant Euro-Americans’ colonial structure
for their Indians’ affairs.The system
is now working very efficiently, and very well, for the immigrant
Europeans.Clear across the country, on
nearly every Indian reservation, these White man’s 1934 I.R.A. colonial Indian
governments are a part of the problem.When these Wanna-Be Indian governments masquerade as the legitimate
governments of the Aboriginal Indigenous people, everything is going according
to plan, and the Indian leaders are getting paid to keep the status quo.What Chairman Bobby Whitefeather is going to
accomplish, is fine-tuning the imported Indo-European socio-economic problems
to advance the agenda of his bosses, the White colonizers.The New Red Lake Chairman is simultaneously
claiming to be both “Chippewa” and “Anishinabe,” but as the token In-House
Indian chairman of the Federal instrumentality called the Red Lake Tribal
Council, another part of his Federally-defined role is to sell resources,
“Treaty rights,” etc., to the White élite, so that they don’t get their
lily-White hands dirty.
Now that the elections are over, the social life on the Reservation is back to
whatever passes as “normal.”One Red
Lake humorist described the I.R.A. electioneering process: “The politicians
were thicker than on fleas on a dog.You couldn’t chase them out of your yard, you couldn’t get rid of
‘em.But, now that elections are over,
I won’t be seeing these crooks, or hearing all the promises they couldn’t keep
anyway, for another four years.Next election,
I’m going to get two pit bulls, and sic ‘em on every politician that starts
telling me White lies.”KA-LAI-JAH MUSIC:
Indian mythology has been featured in Country-Western music since the first
ecology pirate, romanticized as a Hollywood cowboy, strummed his guitar, kissed
his horse, and rode off into the sunset.Indian caricatures have been promoted as high-class literature since
H.W. Longfellow, who was a good friend of the crooked Indian Agent Schoolcraft,
concocted “The Song of Hiawatha.”Now,
there is an Indian Uprising over Cletus T. Judd’s song, “Indian In-Law,” which is
said to be a parody of another song, “Indian Out-Law.”These songs about in-laws and out-laws have
nothing to do with Aboriginal Indigenous people.Ahnishinahbæótjibway society centers around our
Dodems.Our family relationships are
very different from the blood-quantum Indians, who do not have Ahnishinahbæótjibway
Dodems, and who are caught in the White patrilineal system of patriarchal
in-laws, so-called illegitimacy and nuclear White family values.
Some National Indian Leaders are claiming that Judd’s song is “the epitome of
literary evil,” and rhetorically calling for a Salman Rushdie indictment.In my personal opinion, I don’t think that
the bosses of the Famous Indian Leaders (the Bureau of Indian Affairs and
Supersquaw) would go along with such an Ayatollic command.
Cletus Judd’s song is a typical projection of the White man’s own self-image;
the Whites created the illusion of Indians as a scapegoat for his own
guilt.This has nothing to do with the
Aboriginal Indigenous people.The ugly
stereotypes which are embedded in the invading Americans’ mythology of Indians
have generated Big Bucks for the White people forming B.I.A. policy, who
manipulate the Indian Leaders.These
Indian Leaders are making Big Bucks maintaining the system which oppresses both
Indian and Aboriginal Indigenous people on Franklin Avenue and in the many
other Red Ghettos across the country.Why should Cletus Judd be excluded from making Big Bucks, like all of
the other parasites exploiting and living off of the Indian mythology?Making Big Bucks from illusions and lies, is
what the White Man’s alien economic system is all about.In layman’s terms, Euro-American economics
translates into the Rip-Off-er and the Rip-Off-ee, the exploiter and the
exploitee.I wouldn’t give you a
plugged buffalo nickel for any of these big-name Indian Leaders.
I’ve watched these so-called Indian Leaders who are anointed by the White man,
for the past 50 years, and the main priority of every one of them has been
self-interest and their own back pocket.Other than personal greed, there is not one issue about which they can
get together in solidarity.They can’t
even stand in harmony about “Indian In-Laws” and “Indian Out-Laws,” because
Indian is an artificial identity.If
Indian was a real identity, then the B.I.A. and their Indian Tribal Councils
could file human rights violations lawsuits—but then, the stereotyped Indian
identity is itself a human rights violation, and the B.I.A. won’t even stand up
for the so-called Indians they claim to represent.MORE ECONOMIC EXPLOITATION:
President Lyndon Johnson lost the War in Vietnam, and then he lost the War on
Poverty.In the late 1960’s, the
Generals in the War on the Impoverished had a battle plan named Model Cities.They tore down affordable housing for the
poor, and built freeways so that the privileged could theoretically get out of
town fast.When L.B.J. first started
huckstering about abolishing poverty, I almost wanted to believe him.I quickly came back to reality when the
Poverty Warriors invaded the ghettos and started their programs up: buying lots
of office supplies, parking their new cars outside of gentrified office
buildings, and hiring expensively dressed experts with ram-skin Ph.D.’s and
other degrees, who had no firsthand knowledge of poverty.I realized then, that the War on Poverty was
just another get-rich-quick scam, abusing the people in poverty, keeping them
impoverished while the professional exploiters violated their human rights, and
made money off of them.Once a social
services program is established to “address a problem,” the professionals want
to maintain the problems as job security for themselves.The B.I.A. is a good example.HOMELESS:
President Bill Clinton’s social program warrior, H.U.D.’s Cisneros, is in the
process of creating jobs for the middle class, in another poverty-program
bureaucracy.I don’t know what this
program’s going to be called yet: the Bureau of Homelessness, Hutlessness,
Shacklessness, and Cabinlessness?They’re making all kinds of promises, and what will probably happen is
that they’ll create a lot of jobs for unemployed social scientists, re-engineer
social definitions so that the homeless will be blamed for not having a roof
over their heads, and spend a lot of time arresting everybody sleeping under a
bridge.Cisneros is promising to give
the Homeless counseling, and provide them with “adjustments.”Translated, this means that his agency will
make the poor homeless jump through hoops, and do flip-flops and other
acrobatics (like kissing bureaucrats’ behinds) to qualify for substandard
ghetto housing.You can place your bets
and wagers, that voter registration and political organization will not be a
part of the Homeless programs.CRIME$:
Crime is another big business, where the crime-fighters have painted themselves
into a corner.According to the White
man’s Indian mythology, their legendary West was “wild.”In Aboriginal Indigenous history, the
so-called “West” did not become wild until the European invaders and their
Indians came here with their violent family values.What the self-righteous media is now calling “drive-by
shootings,” are no different than the old “Wild West” tradition of “ride-by
shootings,” when outlaws and bandits would ride through on horseback, and shoot
up the town.Euro-Americans have very
short memories—the only thing that’s changed in the modern drive-by shootings
is that the Old West’s White townspeople would get a posse together, and ride
their own horses out into the hills to chase down the renegades and
bandits.The chase is still on, but now
the duly delegated professionals use high-powered vehicles, with red lights
flashing, sirens blasting, and two-way radios cackling with static.Can you imagine a whole posse of cars,
chasing bandits down the freeway—in hot pursuit at 25 miles an hour?... HAD TREATY TIES:
The banner headline in the May 29 Sunday Minneapolis Star Tribune was old news,
“Mafia associates had ties to 5 casinos.”So, what else is new?At Red
Lake, imported European organized crime has been entrenching itself since
patriarchs Sibley and Ramsey negotiated both sides of a crooked treaty, aided
and abetted by crooked fur trader Norman Kittson.Organized crime has been in Ahnishinahbæótjibway
territory since the first European fur traders opened up shop with their Tonto
Indian side-kicks.

Nation (We, the People): The September 18 Bemidji Pioneer published a letter to
the editor with the headline, “Red Lake sovereign nation, yet county taxes pay
costs.” ... Native American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: The September 18 Bemidji Pioneer published a letter to the editor
with the headline, “Red Lake sovereign nation, yet county taxes pay
costs.”The author, Dick Larson,
writes, “admittedly, I’m naive about county spending but this is unbelievable.”Mr. Larson, it’s not your fault that the
history that you were taught in school was from a blindered European
perspective; a one-sided litany of mis-information and outright lies which have
nothing to do with the reality of what has happened on this Continent.They did not tell you about the rape and
plunder of our land and our people; they did not tell you about the social and
genetic engineering and why the ecosystem is being systematically destroyed and
the water polluted and poisoned.Your
teachers did not tell you about your Euro-American hierarchy—and that property
taxes are feudal “protection” on land you can never really “own.”You were also not given the facts about
“Indians,” which is a White term (look it up in your dictionary)—and “Indian”
has nothing to do with the Aboriginal people who belong here: we are the Ahnishinahbæótjibway
in this part of our country.
Property taxes are alien to Aboriginal society—we lived in harmony with the
land, which is what gives us life.The
idea of some foreigner owning our land is disgusting, and metaphysically
impossible in our world-view.You
complain about “property taxes,” as if you are the only one paying for your
corrupt foreign system.We pay
exorbitant taxes: an example is the utility taxes on the Red Lake Reservation,
which include extremely high property taxes levied on utility-company property
in Redby, passed on to us in our bills.Another example is the telephone rate structure: long-distance charges
on every call off the Reservation.The
Bemidji merchants charge me seven cents on the dollar; and even higher taxes on
gasoline, fuel oil and tobacco products (although I don’t smoke).Every purchase made on the reservation
includes payment “in lieu of taxes,” which go to pay for the occupation
forces.We pay more, and we get nothing
worth while back; taxes are like paying for a dead horse in the White man’s
economic system: “White-Male” instead of blackmail.Although people live quite some distance from the post office,
there is no rural mail delivery on the reservation; there is no rural newspaper
delivery.Our taxes support your community,
just like yours do.Mr. Larson, if you
want to do any finger-pointing about taxes, go point at your lying, crooked
Congressmen and Senators, and then go look in the mirror.You are the problem—we did not ask you to
bring your White laws or your funny money system onto our land.
The White United States Constitution contains the clause, “Indians not taxed”
three times, meaning that the Indians who were created by the Europeans were
never intended to own any land, and would not have representation in Congress,
either in the Senate or in the House of Representatives—or in State or County
Government.So, the money that you are
complaining about, your property taxes, is money taken under policies set by
the Congressmen and Senators whom you elected.The Indians, who were created to be politically powerless wards of the
U.S. Government under trusteeship, have nothing to do with designing the
property-tax structure in Beltrami County, nor with the Federally-mandated
social assistance programs.Indians
are, by definition, disenfranchised second-class citizens who, with one stroke
of the pen, will no longer exist—they have no power to lobby for higher
property taxes (or, for that matter, for Indian gaming, which is the
unmentioned, underlying complaint in Mr. Larson’s letter, and which is
controlled by White interests.)Indians
do not make “policy,” not even “Indian policy.”The Aboriginal people are invisible in the Euro-American system,
and in the White man’s hierarchical, racist and misogynistic language.
The Indian “Sovereignty” that you mention without understanding, is an illusion
and a con game, created by your White immigrant democratically elected
representatives, and has absolutely nothing to do with the Aboriginal
people.(If you don’t believe me, read
the so-called “Tribal Constitutions,” written by the U.S. Government under the
1934 Indian Reorganization Act, which is pre-Nuremberg genocide legislation
endorsed by greedy mixed-blood Indians—French Moors who are also known as
“burnt stumps”—like chairman-for-life Roger Jourdain and his French feudal
cousins “Butch” Brun and Bobby Whitefeather.)The Indians, who are programmed to bemoan and cry repeatedly, “broken
Indian Treaties!” [Charmin-type documents in which their ancestors sold land
which did not belong to them], are a part of Euro-American folklore, with about
the same reality-quotient as Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and the fictional
characters of Disneyland and celluloid Hollywood—which has consistently
promoted the White self-serving racist mythology of “Ugh, Me Indian.”
The taxes that you complain about are a part of your White economic structure,
imported from Europe, and along with your money system, are alien; but the land
and the resources here belong to the Aboriginal people—and have never belonged
to either the Whites or the Indians.The illegitimate, mythological and illusory Indians are the fraudulent
means by which the Whites are claiming the land (“Treaties,” agreements,
etc.).A careful examination of the
economic structure of this area makes it clear that if anybody’s on “welfare,”
it’s the White immigrants and their Indians, who are pigging out on the Ahnishinahbæótjibway
land and resources.If you remove the
land, the resources, and the income which is derived from that property from
the White economic structure, what would happen to the Beltrami County
economy—you freeloaders would not have to worry about taxes on anything.Complaining about “taxes” on stolen property
reveals that you have no self-respect, and no identity, either—and you are
trying to obliterate your roots and deny where you came from.The equitable solution would be to return
the land to the Ahnishinahbæótjibway, pay compensation for
the damages done to both the people and the land, and go back to where you came
from—and take your Indians with you.Mr. Larson, would you find this a viable alternative to paying property
taxes (most of which you pay for fire protection, police protection, county paperwork,
schools and high-salary County pork—your property taxes may well have paid for
the handle of a County “Defense Hammer”).
That the “social welfare programs” earmarked for Indians benefit the Ahnishinahbæótjibway
is a diabolical illusion.First of all,
the vast majority of the money involved in the Social Services goes from White
hands directly into White hands.This
system is a racist one, designed to serve Whites, and the high-paying jobs are
almost exclusively held by Whites.Welfare, and the corollary prison system, are a demeaning structure
which entrenches the Euro-American White economic and class system.On the reservation, this “welfare” system
was structured with the intention of destroying Ahnishinahbæótjibway
families and community; using Indians as brokers in the White man’s genocidal
social engineering system of which “welfare” is a part.Before the Western Europeans got here, the
Aboriginal people lived in a paradise, with an abundance of everything and
water that a person could drink anywhere.In the fall of the year, the Lake here was black with vast expanses of
flocks of geese and ducks; throughout the woods there were fruit trees heavy
with fruit, and the smaller lakes were thick with ripe Mahnomen.You could see the bottom of the lakes
through thirty or forty feet of crystal-clear water, and there were vast
schools of fish which we used to watch through the pristine water.I remember how my people, the Ahnishinahbæótjibway,
maintained our land, with everything in abundance—and now there is nothing,
because of what the Whites and Indians have done in their blind greed.We did not need “welfare” and we did not
need taxes.Because of our non-violent
connectedness to Grandmother Earth and our inherent social harmony, we did not
need “prisons,” nor did we need or want any of the other abusive hierarchical
schemes imported by the Whites, including their money system, which is nothing
more than a violent shell game.

Nation (We, the People): The Sunday, July 24, Bemidji Pioneer featured an
article by Pioneer staffwriter Jodi Gregory, "‘Kids Count’ study paints
bleak picture," ... Native American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: The Sunday, July 24, Bemidji Pioneer featured an article by Pioneer
staffwriter Jodi Gregory, “‘Kids Count’ study paints bleak picture,” which
began, “While the media often paints a picture of a nation delving deeper into
poverty and crime, a recent study documents that the majority of Minnesota’s
children are faring well, ... however on the local level, trends slowly move in
the wrong direction.”According to
staffwriter Gregory, the study was “created” by the Anna B. Casey
Foundation.Upon inquiry, I was
referred to Laura Cadwell, at (612) 870-3660.Ms. Cadwell no longer works at the Casey Foundation, and the only
information available at that Foundation was the “Kids Count” study is for sale
as a ten dollar book.The Anna B. Casey
Foundation apparently did contract research for the Children’s Defense Fund and
the Minneapolis Council of Churches’ organization, Congregations Concerned for
Children.
These organizations are trying to solve the social problems inherent in Western
European/Judeo-Christian social structure by entrenching that society, using
“social service” programs which will end up benefitting only selected
children.The people with whom I spoke
at these agencies offered neither rationale nor apologies for their society’s
genocide of the Aboriginal Indigenous peoples, and had no defense for the involvement
of their Judeo-Christian institutions in this heinous crime.Although they knew that it had happened,
they did not understand how to prevent similar atrocities from happening
again.When I questioned them about
their agenda for the future, including what kind of family role models they
proposed to offer the shattered single-parent families which are the
consequence of generations of Western European social engineering, they had no
idea.They insisted that they are not
“blaming the victims of poverty,” although the statistics presented in the
report they commissioned are being used that way, including the false
insinuation that forty-six percent of single mothers are so promiscuous that
they do not have “clearly established paternity” (in plain English, that these
women don’t know who fathered their children).
Western European tactics in this Ahnishinahbæótjibway land
began with rape and plunder.In doing
the genealogy and the history of Red Lake, the number of documented bastards
left by the White invaders is large.Who supported these fatherless children?The United States Government blamed the women for being raped,
and at the same time condoned rape as one of the perks of the occupation
forces.When these children were born,
the Ahnishinahbæótjibway provided for them—our resources and
our land took care of these children who were abandoned by their White
fathers.The breakup of Aboriginal
Indigenous families was a very strongly advocated part of U.S. policy,
proclaimed by a U.S. President as “pulverizing” our community.
The Ahnishinahbæótjibway did not invade Europe; we are on our
own land and we have always been here.We did not claim the Europeans’ countries, and then destroy the ecology,
salt the fields, burn the forests and the longhouses, plant epidemic diseases,
scalp the men and rape the women—and then adopt official policies designed to
destroy the families (Dodems) and the rest of the Aboriginal Indigenous social
structure.The Ahnishinahbæótjibway
are a non-violent people; our language and culture do not even include swear
words.In our world-view, such
atrocities are unthinkable and unspeakable.The U.S. social policy, endorsed and promoted by the Christian churches,
focussed on the annihilation of everything pertaining to the Aboriginal
Indigenous people, while at the same time they endorsed and promoted the Tribes
and Bands of fake Indians and Wanna-be’s which the White man created to replace
the Aboriginal Indigenous people.
The Western Europeans apparently have very short memories, and now that the
consequences of their social engineering, including low-grade class warfare in
every American city, have become firmly entrenched, they want to blame the
victims.The upstanding White citizens
are complaining that “single Indian mothers” are on welfare.But, what are you White people complaining
about?Why didn’t your ancestors stay
in Europe, and live off your own European resources?Since the Europeans (including most of the Indians) have been on
this Continent, these immigrants have been on welfare, living off of the
capital of Aboriginal Indigenous peoples’ resources, plundering the ecological
infrastructure (without seeming to understand that they are stealing from their
own future generations as well as ours).The robber barons whose vast fortunes underwrite U.S. high society got
rich from “welfare.”
The U.S. policies, since the early nineteenth-century days of grand theft, have
been formulated on a dishonest foundation: simultaneously blaming their crimes,
including genocide, on God [as in “Manifest Destiny”]; and socially engineering
the communities they assaulted, to cover up the reality of their crimes.“Compulsory school education,” with
curricula designed to destroy indigenous communities, was a more important
aspect of the Indian Treaties than “cessions” of land already claimed by the
U.S.Once they got Aboriginal
Indigenous children brainwashed into being their Indians in the boarding
schools, the U.S. policy-makers figured that they could get off “welfare”—that
there would be no Aboriginal Indigenous survivors to challenge the “legitimacy”
of their theft of two Continents.
The schools at Red Lake, and the “Indian education” programs throughout the
State of Minnesota, also reflect the United States’ social engineering.The children who are tracked into becoming
“Indians” are being mis-educated in a Chief Jim Crow curriculum: the schools
are training them to wear feathers, do beadwork, dance, make a fire with two
sticks, and talk Chippewa.Instead of
being nurtured in a creative and supportive environment, encouraged in the
study of chemistry, physics, sociology, history, and English writing—which
would provide these children with the tools to understand how they are being
exploited and ripped off (and the means with which to survive in the society
they’re asked to assimilate into)—children from single-parent families in
particular, are being channelled into becoming the scapegoats and fall-guys for
the Western Europeans’ crimes.Rather
than integrating and desegregating the curriculum, these children have a “disadvantaged”
identity imposed on them, and are being trained to hold pow-wows and otherwise
play out the Indian mythology as a tourist attraction.The other alternative with which they are
presented, is to provide well-paying jobs for welfare case-workers, the legal
system, and the prison system.To you
kids who think you’re being “smart” and “tough” because of the stereotypes—the
White man has mapped your path right down the Red Road and into Stillwater,
where he’s planning to make big bucks off of you in prison.
The way the Indian system has been set up by the Western Europeans, the
majority of the people who accept the fraudulent identity of Indians, have less
of a chance than a snowball in Hell.They are exploited mercilessly by their White-appointed “Indian
leaders.”SKIMMING THE 2% CREAM: According to the media, the Indian Leaders have
been “denounc[ing] Senate gambling legislation.”The question is, why are these puppets, who the United States
calls “sovereign nations,” wards of the government and under trusteeship,
testifying in the U.S. Senate?It seems
to be as though the White men who run the States, the Federal Executive
Department, and the U.S. Congress are using their Indians as pawns in a turf
war.The present Senate hearings are
about which bailiwicks and bureaucracies get to skim the Indian gaming
industry.While the governments are
spending millions of dollars debating who gets the cream, other Government
social-service agencies are exploiting and skimming the children in poverty, painting
a “very bleak picture” and no future.If this 2% was put away for the children’s’ future, then they’d have
something.But, the Indian leaders
presently testifying in the Senate have neither the guts nor the backbone to
invest in the grassroots of what they claim as their communities.All they’re looking for is hand-outs and
affirmations from the White man that they’re Real Important Indians—without any
plans for the future.

Nation (We, the People): The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s program
“restoring wetlands” on private land is “on the chopping block,”... Native
American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s program “restoring wetlands” on
private land is “on the chopping block,” according to Sunday’s Minneapolis Star
Tribune.“Restoration” of wetlands is
yet another rip-off coming out of linear Western European thinking, out of
harmony and out of balance.In the same
way that a tree farm has no resemblance to an old-growth forest, a “restored
wetland” is nothing like the natural and intact ecosystems which the
Euro-Americans have destroyed.What the
Western European immigrants are doing in trying to “manage” the Aboriginal
Indigenous peoples’ permacultural ecosystems which were here, does not make
sense.They do not understand the
delicate inter-relationships and harmony, and because they do not have
Grandmother Earth under regimented, hierarchical control, they fearfully call
everything “wild.”From an aboriginal
perspective, their thinking is wild and crazy, out of balance and suicidally
self-destructive.
One example of this kind of wild and demented thinking was the dredging of the
channel of the Red Lake River, done by the United States Government in the
early 1960’s.In their wild-eyed
planning policy publication, “The Red Lake Indian Reservation, It’s
Resources and Development Potential,” the U.S. Government itself describes
their own project as having “destroyed one of the great natural habitats for
fish and wildlife plus one of the best nesting grounds for ducks in the United
States.”Permacultural hunting and
fishing were never part of the old European—or the Indian—culture, and for
generations the U.S. policy has been to destroy the ecological base of the
aboriginal indigenous people, as well as our families, culture and language;
domesticate and enslave us, “change [our] lifestyle.”The BIA wants to “civilize” us by destroying our traditional food
supply, to force us into their economic system and make us buy groceries at
their in-house supermarkets.But, the
human body is not designed for the kind of food that they are selling, laced
with preservatives, food additives, and other toxic chemicals.The aboriginal food supply, which was
healthy, is gone; the white man’s food gives the people who eat it medical
problems including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.POCAHONTAS: Another symptom of the guilt which the Western Europeans
feel when they allow themselves to become even vaguely aware of the enormous
holocaust of both land and people here, is their compulsive (hand-washing)
re-inventing of the Indian mythology.In the last century, their grandfathers killed millions of people, while
drugged on greed and deluded under Manifest Destiny and another hypocritical
philosophy called “my brother’s keeper.”Stealing land and resources from a non-violent people was too easy, and
the plunderer’s grandchildren have come into their inevitable next phase of
history: guilt and denial.In order to
try to ease their collective social conscience, they keep forcing their own
European half-brothers into the role that they invented of “Indians.”Over and over again, they re-enact the
mythologies of the treaties, replaying their self-serving fraudulent Indian
mis-stories to the hilt, reliving their re-runs and déja-vu, trying to hide
from the nightmarish reality of their own history and legitimize their
fraudulent claims to this land.As long
as they remain prisoners of their imported English language, they are caught in
this vicious guilt-ridden cycle.
The Indians are created and owned by the White man, so they go along with his
scheme.Some “socially conscious”
Indians are protesting the Disney movie Pocahontas because of the
“multicultural” heroine’s mythological measurements, but none of them talk
about the reality of the genetic engineering which is inherent in both the
Pocahontas story and in their own history: it takes a squaw-man to make Indians
(who always have a White patriline).Celebrating Indians in the White media will not bring back the
Aboriginal people nor our indigenous culture—the White man’s Indians are
foreigners like he is.The White man
said he was going to destroy the indigenous people of this continent, and over
the centuries, he has.Re-creating
Indians, and re-inventing “traditional culture” under the White man’s paradigm,
is the same kind of thinking as planting tree farms and calling these
disharmonious eyesores of chemical-laden monoculture “forests,” or bulldozing
holes and calling them “restored wetlands.”RE-INVENTING THE TREATIES: The Red Lake DNR’s publication, “Red Lake Natural
Resource News,” recently promoted public meetings about the Red Lake dam.The way that such foreign bureaucracies
work: the “proposed reservoir regulation plan” is already cut, dried and ready
to implement, and the public meetings are merely to provide a rubber-stamp of
community approval (this is how imported Western European democracy works—it’s
manipulative dishonesty is masked by public relations couched in crooked
English).Although the DNR does not say
so in their article, their long-range plan includes “construction of more dams
... along Clearwater and Red Lake Rivers,” justified as “restoring ... fish and
wildlife habitat [wetlands]” but actually flooding more Red Lake land for the
benefit of the sugar-beet farmers downstream.If they’re serious about the ecology, they should remove the dams
entirely and let the Red River Valley flood like it has since time
immemorial.The “wetland” controversy
is a con job which does not benefit the ecology—it’s a politically motivated
buy-off for selected landowners, and a smokescreen which stinks like a rotten
red herring.White agribusiness has no
intention of allowing the natural ecosystem to regenerate over the centuries
required to heal the indigenous permaculture.
The DNR mentions that the Army Corps of Engineers has “reviewed the treaties”
to support their authority to wreck the watershed on the Red Lake Reservation,
while implying that their operations will create better hunting and
fishing.The Treaties were land cession
documents, and that’s all they were.The ones relating to Red Lake did not mention hunting or fishing.The people who actually signed the treaties
were immigrant people with European patrilines, who did not own the land, and
neither the 1863 Treaty nor the 1864 Amendment dealt with the cession of the
land, the lakes or the aboriginal people right at Red Lake.
However, the “1889 Agreement,” the signing of which was celebrated as
“Independence day” with a Real Wanna-Be Indian Pow-wow last weekend, did have
to do with the ceding of land and lakes here: allegedly transferring both land
and water into U.S. trusteeship and opening it to allotment.Sunday’s Bemidji Pioneer guiltily
mis-represents history for their own self-serving interests, lying by calling
the proceedings of 1889 an “agreement reached between the Red Lake Band of
Chippewa Indians and the U.S. Government on July 6, 1889.”In reality, the RE-INVENTING THE

in January of 1889, which was used to simultaneously create the white man’s
Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, and to claim the land at Red Lake as being “sold” by
the “Chippewa Indians” of Minnesota—although neither the U.S. Government nor
the so-called Chippewas have ever had any jurisdiction at Red Lake.The people who really own the land at Red
Lake are the Dodems of the Ahnishinahbæótjibway, who did not
agree to the U.S. Government proposals and did not sign the “Agreement”
celebrated by the White wanna-be’s who call themselves Indians.The dirty dozen who actually signed the
document as “Chippewa Indians,” selling land that was not theirs, did not
belong here, and they all had European patrilines—they were: John English, A.R.
Jourdain, Amos Big Bird, William Sayers, C.A.H. Beaulieu, Nah-ge-shence (Joe
Mason), J.C. Roy, James Fairbanks, John Beaulieu, J.B. Jourdain, Roderick
McKenzie, and Johnny Spees.The
“x-marks” alleged to have been made by the indigenous people are forgeries.PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL: I wonder if one of the planks in Larry Flynt’s
presidential platform will be supporting Hollywood Indians—will he have
top-heavy (48-17-36) Pocahontas pose in the centerfold of Hustler
magazine?Russell Means claims that
Disney Inc.’s fantasy is an “important historic achievement,” writing as a
hierarchical Chief for his mythological Indian race.So much for stereotypical actors who live in La-la Land.

Nation (We, the People): Victims of Congress: According to Friday’s Minneapolis
Star Tribune, Congress finally passed its flood relief legislation ... Native
American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: VICTIMS OF CONGRESS:
According to Friday’s Minneapolis Star Tribune, Congress finally passed
its flood relief legislation—which the President is expected to veto.The disaster which was sandbagged in the Red
River Valley, is now being stonewalled in the Halls of Congress.Law makers are in the back rooms cutting
deals to get more Pork for their Districts, and they are using promises to
flood victims to get re-elected.Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Blow foot the bill: paying for Congressional
boondoggles out of one pocket, and inflation has got its hands in all of their
pockets.While the people of Grand
Forks and other towns in the flood plain are digging the mud out of their
basements, the politicians are rubbing their hands in glee, thinking about the
money that will go through their good buddies into their district.
The people who are living on the flood plain choose to live there, and should
not be called flood “victims.”If you
bought a used car from Honest Bob, and it broke down before you got it home,
would the Federal Government reimburse you for your good judgement?Honest Bob also sells real estate on the Red
River Flood Plain.If you bought any
property in that area—which has flooded for millennia, and is supposed to
flood—should the Federal Government bail you out, or should Honest Bob
reimburse you?It should be obvious to
any schoolchild that the reason a “flood plain” is called a flood plain is
because, plain and simple, it is supposed to flood there.It has always flooded there.That’s how all that nice rich black dirt got
there—from floods.Or, didn’t anybody
ever tell you that?
There is a song about the Red River Valley, which starts, “From this valley,
they say you are leaving.”That’s kind
of a prophecy for you folks who got caught up in the Army Corps of Engineers’
grandiose delusions that they could change the course of Mother Nature and the
Red River of the North.The U.S. Army
Corps is fighting a loosing battle, building dams to move the floods out of the
floodplain and onto the top of the watershed.Did they ever hear of Isaac Newton, or gravity?Water is heavy, and the weight of all that
water (upstream) is another disaster, just waiting to happen.The Army Corps of Engineers should have
opened their floodgates and let the excess water out last fall, but the
arrogant dummies didn’t do it.Now, Red
Lake—and probably other reservoirs—are filled beyond capacity.
As one old timer says, “the more water you put in a hog waller, the harder it
is to get them out.”Instead of letting
the politicians play games with you, buying your votes with your own money, and
selling you pork in a poke in the form of more—and very expensive—dikes, why
not take your flood insurance and get out of the flood plain?Or, better yet, why not reverse the swindle
and sell the land back to the “Indians” who supposedly sold it to you—for the
original purchase price of four cents an acre?(Who were the victims, then?)You don’t have to be a “victim” unless you choose to be—or unless you’re
caught up in cultural S & M.ANOTHER SOB STORY: The National Congress of American Indians has a half
page ad in the Sunday Star and Tribune.This $lick piece of propaganda shows an old Indian woman, looking into
the camera sadly.With all of the money
that is supposedly going to Indian people with the “New Buffalo” of Indian
gaming, why doesn’t this old lady have a new hairdo, eyeglasses, a new sweater
... why doesn’t she have teeth?The
NCAI’s ads remind me of fund-raising drives that the National Council of
Churches used to have years ago, with portraits of starving children who would
never get any of the money given to the churches to help them.
John Collier said, about the new Indians he intended to empower with the Indian
Reorganization Act, that these Indians have a “white-plus psychology.”In plain English, this translates to
Collier’s Indians exploiting their own people even more than the white man did,
if that’s possible.The National Indian
Gaming Association paid for the NCAI’s ad exploiting the old lady.The next time you NCAI lackeys and you white
Federally Recognized Tribal henchmen run this ad, why don’t you give the old lady
you’ve been portraying some nice gold earrings, new clothes, a new house in the
background, a new car with a chauffeur—and some good teeth, with gold in them.
The point of the NCAI’s ad, was to protest proposals to tax the IRA “tribal”
governments established by the United States Congress.This proposal to tax these “tribal
governments,” who are political pawns created and controlled by the white man,
doesn’t make a lot of sense.What this
new tax proposal amounts to, is the US Government taxing itself—Newt should
save some paperwork and send the Indians’ proposed tax bill to himself.If he’s really serious about Indian
taxation, he should also charge himself sales tax and surtaxes on all of the
land that the Indians are supposed to have sold.SPEARFISHING: The annual spring rite of Indian spearfishing controversy
and promoting white tourism has begun again.The flurry of news articles generated every year, blame the Indian
spearfishers for declining walleye populations, but never write about preserving
the ecosystem.
The Indians make a big deal about “ceremonial fish,” which reeks of New Age
Indian mystique.But then again, maybe
these fish are “ceremonial” because nobody in their right mind would eat fish
contaminated with mercury and PCB’s.The white resort-owners are going after tourist dollars by promoting
“catch and release,” so they don’t have to put warning labels about mercury
poisoning on each fish.That’s a job
that the DNR needs to start doing: labelling every fish in the lakes: “This fish
is contaminated with mercury and other pollutants, and eating it is harmful to
your health.”
But then again, reviving the old treaties is just another con job: a remarkable
example of cooperation between the Indians and the Whites.They are like two peas in a pod, and so
wonderfully crooked it has become a science.Just remember: Jesus loves you, but I don’t.Have a good day.

half of this Continent, from the Atlantic Ocean to the tallgrass prairies west
of the Mississippi.The trees rose to
meet the skies, and the sentience of these ancient living beings was a part of
our Ahnishinahbæótjibway community, part of the seamless
continuity of time.They were
more magnificent than the finest of the Europeans’ cathedrals, but they were
not oppressively cold, psychologically manipulative man-made canyons of stone;
nor flying-buttressed edifices like hordes of giant locusts crouched in waiting
to devour the land and suck the life out of Grandmother Earth.Our forests were comfortable and nurturing,
like the haven of baby chicks under their mother hen’s wings.The forests were home, serene and secure,
gentle and wise.Theirs was a concert
of voices: the sharp snapping of trees in the cold winter nights, the wind in
the pines, the low calls of mother foxes to their young, the soft conversation
of our Dodemian and the crackling of the fires in the sugarbushes, the
spring symphony of birds, the drumsongs drifting across the water in summer,
and the whooshing beat of the air as millions of birds flew south in the
fall.When I was young, I walked
through these forests.The earth was
soft underfoot, like walking on a plush carpet.The undisturbed primeval forests had very little underbrush, and
a person could see a great distance.
When we were young boys playing in the old-growth pine forests, we used to
watch the flying squirrels in the pines in wonder and amazement.We watched them glide from one tree to the
next, walking behind them on a thick carpet of pine needles.They were beautiful, graceful animals.It’s been more than forty years since I have
seen a flying squirrel.They have
joined the vanishing species that disappear with the plunder of the
ecology.They are gone, because their
home in the ancient pines has been clear-cut, replaced by aspen, and the whole
ecosystem has changed.There is no
habitat for flying squirrels in aspen brush.Where are the smallest of the woodpeckers, that used to be all over the
woods when I was a boy?In the last ten
years, I have only seen three of these tiny birds.Where are the cedar swamps, so thick that it was dark at noon?I used to go down into these swamps and pick
our swamp tea, and a few of the moccasin-flowers.All of this is gone, and not one White man raised his voice in
protest when this entire forest was destroyed.It is only very recently that a few of the Euro-Americans are waking up,
and realizing that all life on Earth is connected.They are standing up in public and speaking out in defense of the
spotted owls, and the kangaroo rat, and all of the other beings that are an
integral part of Grandmother Earth, that gives us all life.I applaud these courageous people.
Most White men can not see into the forests; they can only see the edge of
them.Along the highways and lakeshores
in Northern Minnesota is a Potemkin forest: a strip of trees about six trees
deep.What the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources calls “aesthetic buffers” mask ravaged clear-cut land.
The old trees have been cut, replaced with what are called tree farms, in which
the ground is hard, furrowed with plow ridges, and choked with underbrush.These pitiful tree plantations are diseased
monocultural plantings grown in an overload of insecticides and herbicides;
barren unbalanced ecologies where the wildlife starves or is poisoned.They bear no resemblance to the forests
which belong here.
The ecosystem in this area is in serious trouble.The forest products companies will not—and cannot—restore what
they are looting and ransacking.A few
trees cut down, will grow back in an intact forest, but forest ecosystems, once
destroyed, are not renewable.“Fish
flies” are one example of our fine-tuned ecology.Ask any old-timer about the clouds of fish flies, so thick they
looked like smoke, that swirled and hummed every May.I haven’t seen a single fish fly in four or five years.They may be “pesky,” but they are a
necessary part of the ecosystem, and provide food for the hatchling fish at the
exact time that they need it.When the Euro-Americans destroy the forests, they destroy everything,
and ultimately themselves.
The beauty which our people kept for thousands of generationshas been completely destroyed in my lifetime
by the Euro-Americans and their Indians.My children will never see much of what was our peoples’ beautiful,
magnificent heritage, because of the greed of the Whites and their Indians.Our water is polluted, our fish are
cancerous and infested with parasites, and the game has almost
disappeared—because the inter-connected circles of life have been
destroyed.The children growing up now
see aspen brush, and do not have any understanding of what a real forest means.They are a lost generation, and nobody is
telling them that a stand of aspen, which the D.N.R. defines as “forest,” is
something entirely different from the beautiful primeval forest which was once
here.Once clear-cut, the old forests
are gone, and will require undisturbed centuries to regenerate.
You can plant tree farms to the horizon, and you still do not replace even one
of the trees that was here.A healthy
forest is much more than trees, and planting trees will not restore an
ecosystem which has been demolished.It
is said that the Europeans “can’t see the forest for the trees.”Don’t get me wrong—I’m certainly not against
planting trees—but no matter how many trees you plant or tree farms you make,
no matter how much public pomp and circumstance, and no matter how many
scientific foresters with Ph.D.s, a tree farm has very little resemblance to
the harmonious, intricate, and balanced ecosystem of the Ahnishinahbæótjibway
A tree farm will not stop your lakes from drying up; it will not provide what
forests must provide in order for the lakes and rivers to be full of fish.
The scientists talk about forest management, but for them the bottom line is
G.N.P.They do not seem to understand
that even a free-market, democratic economy cannot exist outside the reality of
the ecosystem.Allow the clear-cutting
to continue, and you will see—you will feel the effects much closer to home
than you expect.
Such heedless destruction is sacrilegious to the Ahnishinahbæótjibway.The Midé is beyond European time,
encompassing our lives, everything that we do and think and dream.It is not a one-hour-a-week religion, like
Christianity, where a person goes to Church on Sunday morning, and then goes
back to destroying the environment again.The Western Europeans have declared a war of total annihilation on our
religion, on Grandmother Earth, and on Grandfather Midé, and then they
have the gall to say that we, the Ahnishinahbæótjibway who
have always been a non-violent people, are warlike.

Nation (We, the People): When I was growing up in the late 30’s and early 40’s,

American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: When I was growing
up in the late 30’s and early 40’s, one of the luxuries we had on the Res was
“going to the show.”We never went “to
the movies,” and there was no place called a “movie theater” at Redlake, but
anybody who had the price of admission (ten cents) went to the show—at the Show
Hall.Those of us who did not have ten
cents sat outside, and listened to the movie through the thin walls of the
theater.At that time, politicians
had already realized the power of propaganda in the mass media.Most of the movies at Redlake were Grade B
Westerns—the archetypal Cowboy-and-Indian movies (“shows”).The plot was always the same: in the early
part of the movie, Hollywood Indians in grease paint rode out of the barren
hills with war whoops, terrorized White “pioneer” women and children, burned
the wagon train and drank up the whiskey.(They never attacked the Chinese railroad laborers or the Black
slaves.)The climax of all these
Western movies was the Cavalry charge on horseback, coming to the rescue in a
cloud of flying dust, with bugles blowing and horses running, then the U.S.
Army would slaughter the “merciless savage” Indians: every man, woman and
child.The French Métis children would
stand up on their benches in the Show Hall, clapping their hands and cheering
loudly for the Cavalry as they mercilessly killed the Indians, shooting them in
the back and scalping them.These burnt stumps grew
older, and guess what.Times have
changed, and now these very same French Métis people who applauded the Cavalry,
along with their descendants, have replaced the dead Indians who were massacred
every week on Hollywood’s movie sets.They are now running around with beads and feathers and pow-wow paint,
telling gullible White people that they are “Real Indians” who are experts on
Indian culture; Indian Medicine Men practicing White Christian shamanism in
what they claim are “sacred sweats” for big White bucks; hiding a heinous and
despicable Holocaust—the genocide and “ethnic cleansing” of the Aboriginal
people here, exploiting the rotten residue of Manifest Destiny and playing the
White man’s burden of guilt for all it’s worth; parading in the mass media and
acting like damn’ fools.Before World
War II, these Métis spoke Creole French, and had lively French dances with
expert French jiggers and fiddle-players.The highlight of these French dances was a raucous drunken fist-fight,
which kept the local gossips busy until the next week’s dance.I often wonder what happened to their
Traditional Cajun culture (did the English take it away from them as a part of
the French-and-Indian wars?).I also wonder
why they reject their own roots for the shallow pretense of mythological Indians.Could it be they fell for the second oldest
dirty trick in the books, that carrot-on-a-stick of “payment” and “land money.”Politically correct people
have claimed this manufactured phenomenon of [mythological] Indians is a
“Diversity of Culture,” but on closer examination, it’s an self-serving
illusion of White culture that’s really out of focus, out of kilter and way out
of balance.To promote the
Johnny-come-lately Indian culture on this Continent, the formerly French
Indians create jobs for themselves, using phony “Indian preference” as “equal
opportunity” to hire their relatives.These Indian fakers and con artists should be in jail for fraud and
abuse of hard-earned taxpayers’ money and pigging out at the public trough
[“salt pork”].The people who claim to
be “Indians” are nothing more than dark-skinned southern Europeans.Also participating in the Indian scam, are
the lighter-skinned low-class Whites who are trying to get their share of the
plundered resources here.The “me-too”
grabbers include Squaw-Men who have become instant Indian experts because they
fathered “Real Traditional full-blood Indians,” although they know nothing
about the Aboriginal culture or values.Squaw Men have a vested interest in promoting Indian programs for their
so-called Indian children, and some, like Schoolcraft, have written much
nonsense about how to be a Real Indian.Instead of supporting their children in their own society like everybody
else does, the Squaw Men are pretending that they did great service by making
Indians, who can take advantage of Indian college tuition subsidies, Indian
health care, and other “Indian” programs paid for with Aboriginal resources and
taxpayer dollars.These parasitic Squaw
Men are not only complicit in hiding the genocide of the Aboriginal people of
these Continents, they are also vital to the perpetration of the American
Indian fraud, which makes a pathological liar out of everyone who claims to be
an “Indian.”The only Indians who have
ever lived on either one of these Continents are people from India.GRAVE ROBBERY: The Indian Freedom of Religion Act uses
unilateral legislation to try to turn Aboriginal people into Indians, so that
the White élite can use their Indians to get at the Aboriginal peoples’
graves—maybe they’re digging for more voters and petition-signers.The Indians who are trying to steal the
Aboriginal peoples’ ancestors (and the self-serving Whites who hench for them)
should go look at the Indians’ genealogy; they should look at reality.Most people don’t know that the Aboriginal
people are buried with their heads to the North and their feet to the South,
but the ancestors of the Indians who are pretending to be Aboriginals are
buried East and West, and their graves are in the Christian cemeteries, where
they are interred like the rest of the Europeans.The Indians who have enabled the White man to steal almost
everything, and now are desecrating the few remaining intact Aboriginal
gravesites.The Indian impostors are
not indigenous to this Continent, and maybe they don’t realize that the spirits
of the Aboriginal people whose graves they are plundering and whose identity
they are trying to steal, are still here.There has been a lot of
election-year hoop-la lately, about what the White man proclaims are “family
values,” “community” and “cultural diversity.”Western Civilization depends on the destruction of the family and the
community, usurping peoples’ loyalties into a paternalistic Nation-State.There has also been some discussion of
racism, and what it means to be “American.”The United States of America is founded on violence and the destruction
of families, including the Boarding Schools, which were designed to destroy
Aboriginal families and brainwash Aboriginal children into becoming Indians and
slaves for the White man.“Diversity” in Euro-American
terms is a cruel illusion: what is called “diversity” comes out as only one
paradigm, the Western European one, and it is locked in and can’t get out.There is no “diversity” in this imported
paradox—there is the narrow, Western European, point of view, and this is the
only (one-sided) perspective presented by the mass media.There are no checks and balances on this
linear and abstract form of not-thinking, which is why there is so much
violence. Euro-American “diversity” has
no respect either for other people, or for themselves.The imported European form of “diversity”
needs to be de-segregated and integrated, and then the people who call
themselves “Americans” might begin to find harmony and respect for themselves,
but first they will have to get their real identity—they are not Americans, and
they are not Indians, either.Almost all of the Aboriginal
Indigenous people of this Continent were annihilated, and more than 99% of the
people now living on this Continent are immigrants.A lot of these so-called Indians and other Americans say, “I’m
born here, and I’m a native American, so therefor the land and resources are
mine, and I can plunder and destroy them (without regard to the consequences).”The Euro-American policy makers are
promoting Indians to justify their illegal and abusive tenure on this
land.My Aboriginal ancestors are from
here (and they are not immigrants, either), and I am born here, and I am not an
American and I am not an Indian.Those
are European foreign identities.I’m Ahnishinahbæótjibway of
the Bear Dodem, and I am on my own land.This is not American, or Indian, land.This is Aboriginal land.The Ahnishinahbæótjibway people
have lived in harmony here for countless millennia, and all the land here is
the dust and the bones of my ancestors.My telephone number is (218)

News.
Abstract: While I was digging through my papers looking for another document, I
came across some copies of B.I.A. records I’d misplaced, about taxation on the
Red Lake Reservation.According to
these files, the Bemidji Daily Pioneer published a list of delinquent Red Lake
Reservation taxpayers on January 11, 1924: Whites, Citizen Indians, and certain
“non-citizen Indians.”None of these
people against whom Minnesota School District Number 119 levied a ten percent
personal property tax in 1923 were Ahnishinahbæótjibway with
a Dodem (although two of them were later defined by the U.S.A. as “4/4 blood
quantum Indians”).These White man’s
Indians were being used to set a European-law precedent.The plan was to use this motley group of
B.I.A. employees, French Métis, and “lumberjack bastards” (who were already
citizens prior to the 1924 U.S. Indian Citizenship Act because of their
Indo-European patrilines) as a purported proxy for the Ahnishinahbæótjibway,
institutionalizing State and local taxation of everyone’s personal property on
Red Lake Reservation.
In his greed, the White man over-reached, and the deal fell through.Part of the justification used for the
taxation levied in the early 1920’s was payment for schools, and the long-range
goal was to use property taxes to steal this land—as was done on the allotted
Indian reservations.But, under the Act
of January 14, 1889, the United States unilaterally mis-appropriated more than
three million acres of Ahnishinahbæótjibway land at Red
Lake.The Ahnishinahbæótjibway
never consented to the sale of our land.The U.S. Government knew that our Midé philosophy means we cannot sell
land, and wrote the 1889 Act so that Ahnishinahbæótjibway
land would be taken on the “consent” of the Métis Chippewas throughout
Minnesota.As with all “Indian land
sales,” under both Indian Treaties and subsequent “Agreements,” one part of the
title to the Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ land was stolen by Indian proxy “sale,”
and another part claimed by the White man with a Judeo-Kristian ritual.
During the meetings which were held in 1889, the assembled Indians and Ahnishinahbæótjibway
were told by the crooked Minnesota Chippewa Commission that there would be
“payments.” When I was young, Métis
people and other Chippewa Indians relied on the oral history of the lies told
at the July, 1889 meetings, and would tell me, “you know, you Red Lakers are
going to be rich some day.”The
Minnesota Chippewa Commission lied to the Chippewa Indians they were using to
sell Ahnishinahbæótjibway land, as well as to everybody
else.Under the provisions of the 1889
legislation which had already been passed by Congress, there would be no
annuities or big lump-sum payments.The
proceeds from the sale of our stolen land was squandered on boarding schools,
support of missionary religious institutions, B.I.A. operating funds, and other
instruments of genocide used to destroy the Ahnishinahbæótjibway
families.The schools for which the
White man wanted to levy a ten percent personal property tax, had already been
paid for under the unilateral United States Act of January 14, 1889.
There was much grumbling and dissent about having to pay for the schools
twice.The B.I.A. considered their
Indians dumb and inferior [they claimed “scientific evidence” that the Indians’
I.Q. was about 70], but they weren’t that dumb, and the files contain a number
of letters written by the Chippewa Indians protesting the taxation and proposed
tax-forfeiture.The U.S. reconsidered
their strategy, and the Department of the Interior wrote an opinion which
included, and I quote, “as the United States has not fully carried out its
object and purpose toward them, and they and their property still remain under
its exclusive jurisdiction and control, it is believed that, under such
circumstances, the State is without authority ... to interfere.”The United States had been operating their
Indian Reservations as concentration camps in which even the “proceeds of
Indian labor” were confiscated under U.S. trusteeship of the Indian wards of
the Western European Government, and continues their encroachment under the
White “Indian Sovereignty” given to their 1934 I.R.A. Tribal Councils.PLUNDER ECONOMICS: Roman law has always been based on an economic system
in which self-proclaimed “royalty” applied their laws to other races of people
(but not to themselves), committed genocide and colonized [stole] other
peoples’ land and resources.In order
to hold and expand their colonies, the heirs of the Roman empire have used the
dual strategy of genetically engineering the colonized people [for example,
Indians], and forcing their own narrow hierarchical world-view onto their
subject people through their own languages and the Creolization of the
languages of the people they colonize.Chippewa is such an hierarchial Creole language.
Encroachment, ecological plunder and self-serving ambiguities within their
languages and their laws are defined by the heirs of the Romans as “the spread
of $ivilization.”When Columbus claimed
that he had “discovered” this Continent for King Ferdinand and his Queen,
Isabella, and claimed it under the authority of the Holy Roman Empire, this
began encroachment which has continued unabated after Henry VIII’s break with
the Papacy.The Good Kristians, who
broke the Ten Kommandments, and are still breaking them to this day, were
encroaching on Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples as they established missions
across the Continent.The Manifest
Destiny openly proclaimed by the United States in the last century was blatant
encroachment, allegedly justified by the dual encroaching assertions, “God is
on our side,” and “they weren’t using the land or ‘developing’ the
resources.”(Greed is a mental illness
co-dependent with encroachment.)The
Western Europeans use of germ and chemical warfare, including deliberate
infection of Aboriginal Indigenous people with tuberculosis and smallpox, was
genocidal encroachment.
Trying to re-define the Aboriginal Indigenous people by lumping them in the
same Western European category as their White Squaw Men—Indians—has always been
encroachment, and signing Indian Treaties with the U.S.’ patrilineally White
Indians was further encroachment.Creating concentration camps euphemistically called Indian Reservations,
operating compulsory-education boarding schools under the aegis of the Indian
Treaties and Indian “Agreements,” and forcing Ahnishinahbæótjibway
to take on the identity of Kristian Indians who spoke broken English, are all
encroachment.
The Euro-Americans tried to encroach at Red Lake by taxing automobiles, horses
and wagons in 1923.This attempt was
unsuccessful, and in 1924 they unilaterally and inaccurately re-defined
Aboriginal Indigenous people as “non-citizen Indians” again, and further
encroached by passing the oxymoron Indian Citizenship Act.By that time, most of the people on the
Reservation had gone through the compulsory-education boarding schools, and the
Euro-Americans thought that they had brainwashed the Aboriginal Indigenous
people into becoming Indians.At Red
Lake, “Indian citizenship” did not mean voting—it translated into slave labor:
being forced to build roads for the encroaching Euro-Americans, under what was
called a “poll tax.”Encroaching
“democracy” belatedly followed the poll tax, with the 1934 Indian
Reorganization Act, patterned after the imported White government, and
controlled by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
The I.R.A. form of encroachment government was unilaterally imposed by the
U.S.A. at Red Lake in 1958.In the
1970’s, the State of Minnesota used the White man’s I.R.A. for further
encroachment, and used the Euro-Americans’ “Indian Sovereignty” to finally levy
a State tax on automobiles at Red Lake, by issuing State “vanity” license
plates (which say MN in the corner) through the I.R.A. tribal council.The State of Minnesota Highway Patrol stops
older cars with “Red Lake Plates” frequently—the State is obscuring the
encroachment by hassling people, doubling their revenue, and laughing all the
way to the Auditor’s Office.This is
classical European encroachment-sovereignty, aided and abetted by
Chairman-for-Life Roger Jourdain.The
U.S.A. gave you Indians at Red Lake “Indian Sovereignty,” and now is using the
ambiguities of this “Sovereignty” to tax you twice.Poll taxes were made unconstitutional under the 24th Amendment,
but apparently under the Jim Crow of Indian Sovereignty, such taxes (under
another name) can still be legitimately applied to “Indians not taxed.”Seat belt fines and cigarette taxes are both
part of this White man’s protection-racket of encroachment.Every time a centralized government taxes a
person “for your protection,” they are taking another small part of your
freedom.Like the Mafia, the
governments’ protection racket is just another shakedown.
The State has used encroachment—the schools, the “welfare” system, and taxation
to take away any autonomy that Indians ever had as wards of the government
under Trusteeship.For generations, the
U.S. policy-makers have assured each other that the “Indian problem” would be
solved by the elimination of the Indians, and their Indians have been told,
“with one stroke of the pen, you will no longer exist.”The White man created the Indians, and
because he owns the Indians’ identity and is the definer of Indian culture, he
can unilaterally abolish Indians.

= (a.k.a. Francis Blake, Jr. (1994). Reflections from the Ahnishinahbæótjibway
Nation (We, the People): While looking through Indian Country Today,

... Native American Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: While looking through Indian Country Today, which lauds itself
as “America’s Indian Newspaper,” I came across a racist ad for the Marty Indian
School in Marty, South Dakota.According to the application process explained in this ad, the
prospective Student’s Enrollment Application must be approved by the Bureau of
Indian Affairs’ Education Office.While
multiple agencies in the United States Government disburse millions of dollars
to promote integration and “equal opportunity,” the Marty Indian School
requires “Certification of Blood Degree,” promoting pseudo-racial
discrimination by admitting only those students who have papers to document
their pedigree of what the White man designates as Federally Recognized Indian
blood.This Jim Crow admission
requirement does not imply that the students at Marty Indian School have any
Aboriginal Indigenous ancestry, however it is in accord with the archetype of
the apartheid Anglo-American philosophy of racial purity, the “one drop of
[tainted] blood” rule.
Since the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960’s, racism in America has become
many muddled shades, obscuring what was previously perceived to be a
black-and-white issue.Behind the
illusions of “protected classes” and “minority preferences” is the old Roman
colonial tactic: divide and rule.Not-quite-lily-white people were mongrelized in their homelands through
eugenics, miscegenation, ethnic un-cleansing and the rape which is inherent in
Western European Civilizations’ wars.Then, they “discovered America,” and the Utopia engineered by the old
European upper class on this Continent included the use of “race” as an
indelible caste mark, an impenetrable barrier to advancement of the “low-born”
into the élite.What the Ethnic Leaders
who are avariciously holding their hands out for “special funding,” “Indian
Education,” and other “privileges” do not realize is that they are
strengthening the structure which oppresses them, greedily gulping the bait of
a very old colonial ploy.The “special
privileges,” including blood-quantum Indian education, are in direct violation
of the fundamental concepts attributed to the White Founding Fathers’ Documents
of the United States, “All [People] are Created Equal,” as well as the
rhetorical pursuit of illusions of happiness and delusions of “freedom.”
The W.A.S.P.s are buying time by seemingly pandering to special-interest groups
who are demanding “recognition,” “entitlements,” “protection” and other
perks.Only the Ethnic Leaders get a
worthwhile portion of these “protected class” gratuities—the people whom they
presume to lead, go without—the only thing they get is self-destructive Ghetto
Gangster role models and Rodney King police protection.The White man appoints members of what he
calls the “lower classes,” as Ethnic Leaders.If these Ethnic Leaders were genuinely concerned about the welfare of
their purported followers, and of their next generations, they would all band
together, and desegregate and integrate the racist Roman and English Laws
imported to this Continent by the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant good ol’ boys,
as well as the U.S. Constitution derived from those imports.This should have been done a long time
ago.The Law of Western European
Civilization, and the economic system derived from it, is what keeps the people
labelled as “minorities” on their knees, begging for handouts and fighting like
hungry dogs over a pat on the head and a few scraps.LANGUAGE:
The Western European language of English is not my native language, and from
the perspective of an Aboriginal Indigenous person who learned English as a
second language—with great difficulty—English is a rigid and disharmonious
language, which was intentionally manipulated and engineered by a literate
élite, to maintain and entrench their flat-earth slave society.The English language programs its native
speakers into a very narrow world-view circumscribed by the old Roman
Propaganda Fide.Compounding the
problem, it systematically disconnects native English-speakers from reality and
from nature, and brainwashes them so that they do not see the ways in which
their perceptions and their behavior are being controlled and their
expectations downsized.
Because the foundations of the English language were formulated before the
Indo-Europeans knew that there were other Continents beyond their limited
horizons, the Aboriginal Indigenous peoples of these Continents do not exist—in
some very critical ways—for native speakers of English.(Racism is built into the English language
and into their legal system.)When the
Europeans arrived on our Continents, and claimed our land in the name of their
god for the Holy Roman Empire, their White black-robed shamans waved their
crosses in front of them to exorcise the apparent apparitions of the Aboriginal
Indigenous people, who bedeviled their guilty consciences, and who have always
walked free, beyond the constraints of the chains and shackles inherent in the
Western European languages.When the
Europeans found they could not linguistically enslave the Aboriginal Indigenous
people, the White man then turned his own subject people—who were already
slaves trapped within the context of his languages and who did not have an
identity—into purported blood-quantum Indians (of Columbus’ lost
Continent).In dealing with his greed,
the White man could conveniently deal with visible and controllable proxies for
the linguistically nonexistent, invisible and unknowable Aboriginal Indigenous
people.Over the past five hundred and
two years, the White man has perpetrated a remarkable scam, and has almost
gotten away with it.This is also why
the United Nations does not have any representatives of the Aboriginal
Indigenous Nations in the Security Council, which operates under the very
limited and racist paradigm of Roman Law, and the violence of Imperial Pax Romanus.
The Western European languages split hair-breadth differences into presumably
irreconcilable dichotomies, and the ensuing high-voltage arguments, for example
Creationism vs. Evolution, maintain the illusion that the narrow world-view of
the Western Europeans is all-encompassing.Other examples of this Trickster’s Shell Game are the decades-long
“confrontation” between the blood brothers of Capitalism and Communism; and
fratricidal brothers like Cain and Abel.THE HIPPOCRATIC OATH:
The intense congressional debate over “Health Care” is another example of the
Western European language run amok.The
real issues of sickness and wealth are not publicly acknowledged, nor is the
entrenchment of compulsory Western European “medicine.”None of the many “Competing Health Care
Plans” deviate from the enrich-the-rich boilerplate of U.S. Congressional
legislation.All of the attention is
being focussed on giving “breaks” to “employers,” rather than to the workers.Instead of passing legislation to subsidize
businesses buying insurance, why not increase the wages of the employees so
that they can buy their own health insurance, or pay their own medical bills
out of pocket?Or, is part of the
urgency in “Health Care Reform” to bail out health-insurance companies whose
near future holds immense, massive liability because of radioactive
contamination, the AIDS epidemic, pollution-induced “environmental illness,”
and an increasingly adulterated food supply?The Great Ms. Bubba is writing the fine print so that the taxpayers will
pay several times for the consequences of the demolished ecological
infrastructure of this continent—and no matter who Congress lays the tab on,
nobody’s pockets are that big, or deep enough.Health Care insurance is not the problem, although the severe mental
illness of greed is.You can fool some

(We, the People): Dear Shaman, Why are the treaties only written in the English
language... Native American
Press/Ojibwe News.
Abstract: Dear Shaman,
Why are the Treaties only written in the English language, why aren’t they also
written in the Indian languages?Shouldn’t a Treaty be written in both languages, eh?Traditional IndianDear Wanna-be,
That’s a very good question.I’m glad you
asked that.The treaties have been
interpreted many in different ways, by many different people: by sportswriters,
by the DNR, by the BIA, by the courts, by would-be Indian leaders...The treaties were not recorded in the
indigenous languages because they were never interpreted into them.Here, for example, the treaties were
interpreted into French and into the creole trade language, Chippewa, but not
into the indigenous language, Ahnishinahbæótjibway,which is a language the treaty interpreters
did not speak or understand.
One of the big problems with the so-called Indian Treaties is that they were
negotiated between European parties: the Americans and the French Métis.The indigenous languages are not a part of
the treaties, because the indigenous people were excluded from the
treaties.The “Indian Treaties” were
based European laws of “discovery,” which are foreign European laws which do
not belong here.
The “Indian Treaties” are not really treaties.The World Court does not recognize them—and they never were a part of
international law.Even when they were
being negotiated, the “treaties” were considered to be internal affairs of the
United States, on land already claimed as United States territory.They were never intended to be international
law, because neither the United States Government nor any other European nation
ever recognized indigenous people’s right to our own land on this
continent.That’s a human rights
violation.
The so-called treaties were written to fulfill the bare letter-of-the law
requirements of Article V of the U.S. Constitutional amendments, that: “No
person ... shall be ... deprived of ... property, without due process of the
law.”Because of their white patriline,
the Indians all came under the Constitution, and the “Indian Treaties” were the
U.S. Government’s way of claiming that they stole the land legally, in their
way of thinking.The English language
is so crooked that it creates a criminal culture.

Dear Shaman,
What about the “hunting and fishing rights” in the Treaties?Where do the rights of the red-blooded
American citizens fit into this?True
Sportsfisherman (Catch-and-Release)Dear Bearer of Tall Tales,
The whole thing is a tourist trap.Any
way it’s been interpreted, the Indian still has to buy a license from the White
man: from the State, or from the IRA “tribal councils” that the White man
established.Whether sovereign or
semi-sovereign, the Indians have always come under the jurisdiction of the
White man, because Indians are also Europeans.
The Mille Lacs Treaty has been a big circus, because both the treaties and the
white laws behind them are written only in crooked English, from a European
point of view.The White man keeps
reviving the dead treaties because the existence of the United States depends
on them.In the early 1970’s, the
American Indian Movement was hollering, “honor the treaties,” as were the IRA
“Tribal” governments.The U.S. didn’t
honor the treaties, so the Indians quit hollering—their loud and violent
protests didn’t produce anything but job security for the media, more violence
and social problems.But, the United
States Government’s claim to this land rests on the treaties, so now the White
man (Congress and everyone else) is hollering, “honor the treaties.”It’s hot air out of Washington, D.C.—the
Euroamericans are hiding their genocidal guilt behind the Indians that they
created.
Hunting and fishing is a red herring: it aggravates and agonizes public feeling
about the treaties, builds White backlash, and makes money for the White
man.Even though some of the treaties
have clauses about hunting and fishing in them, the United States never
intended to honor anything about the treaties except that the U.S. got to claim
the land: the French Métis and the Spanish Mestizos (who were the people who
signed the “treaties”) were a conquered people who had to take the identity of
“Indian” as a part of the conquest, had no rights then, and still don’t have
any rights.“Indian” is a foreign name,
and is not indigenous to this land.

Dear Shaman,
How did “sovereignty” get into the treaties and into these reservation tribal
governments?Indian Law StudentDear Future Shyster,
“Sovereignty” is a form of segregation, and the “Indian laws” are so bad that
the Whites don’t want to apply them to their own people.They are part of the Jim Crow system of
apartheid which was supposedly abolished in the South after the Civil Rights
Act in the 1960’s.The United States
has no legal basis for taking indigenous peoples land and resources—they simply
stole them by declaring eminent domain under the authority of the Roman
Catholic Church.“Indian Sovereignty”
discriminates against both Whites and Indians, and it hides the genocide and
the grand land theft here.The Whites
need to get honest about their history, but they can’t, because their language
restricts them.

Dear Shaman,
Why are all the Indians called “the First Americans”?A Concerned White
GuyDear White Boy,
The indigenous people of these continents were destroyed in the genocide.The “Indians” are called the “first
Americans” to hide this genocide and to pacify the Euroamericans’ conscience.
The Pope made a statement in 1985 about the genocide here, when the Catholic
Church was going to Canonize one of the Spanish Missionaries in California.But, the Catholic Church was into genocide
on this continent.Since the mid-1500’s
their legal documents have justified genocide here with statements like
Aristotle’s, “War arises in a certain sense from nature, since a part of it is
the art of the hunt, which is properly used not only against animals, but also
against those men who, having been born to obey, reject servitude: such a war
is just according to nature.”Aristotle
tells you a whole lot about your European criminal culture and values.

Dear Shaman,
I went up to get my last payment check from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and
it wasn’t ready.Everyone was sitting
around filing their nails and standing at the water cooler, and just gossiping.What’s wrong with this system?Ration IndianDear Dole,
When Custer rode off to his last appointment, he told the Indian Agent at the
fort, “Don’t do anything until I get back.”This order has never been rescinded.

Abstract: Dear Shaman,
Why did the Pilgrims and other European immigrants call this “The Promised
Land,” when there were people living here?signed, D.A.R.
Blueblood DaughterDear Holier-Than-Thou,
The “promise” in “the promised land” comes from claims that the Christians made
about what their God said to them.Although the Ten Commandments say, “Thou Shalt Not Steal,” the Christian
God apparently told His followers that it was fine to steal from the indigenous
people here.The Christian religion
changed when good Christian men saw the vast wealth belonging to the indigenous
people—greed became their illuminating light, and this enlightenment created
such shady doctrines as Manifest Destiny.
There were a number of allegedly Divine mind-games that the Christians used to
justify their rapacious theft to themselves, which are still in operation
today.Their thieving rationales
included saying that the indigenous people were not really human beings (in the
1500’s the Catholic Church revealed the “truth” that indigenous people were
half-human homunculi).This is
the same kind of thinking as modern racism.They also said that their God created this land and therefore it
“naturally” belonged to Christian immigrants and not to the people they
labelled pagans, heathens and savages.This is the still the modern legal foundation for the United States’
“eminent domain,” which is why the media is devoting so much attention to the
Landless Indian Treaties and to the IRA White Government Tribal Councils.
The immigrants’ Godly thieving strategies depend on crooked hierarchical
languages, like Crooked English.They
called some of their earliest settlers, “Pilgrims,” but pilgrims are supposed
to go back to where they came from, and pilgrimages don’t usually last three
centuries, either.
Interpreted from crooked English, what “The Promised Land” really means, is
“The Land of Broken Promises.”The
American Dream is a broken promise, a decent living wage is a broken promise,
and the Mille Lacs Treaty is only one treaty out of more than four hundred
treaties.Are they going to honor the
rest of those crooked treaties?I think
not.

Dear Shaman,
It was in the year 1972 that Roger Jourdain told all of the Red Lake Indians,
“I am building, for you Indians and you white people, a good road from Bemidji
to Red Lake.Look at what I have done
for you, and you still don’t appreciate me.”People gossip about him and make fun of him, instead of honoring our
first constitutionally elected leader, the Father of the Red Lake Chippewa
Nation.signed, Rez
Shi-nobDear Landless Indian,
What Ira Jourdain did not tell you: to watch out for the big logging trucks
that might run over you, which have been going day and night ever since they
straightened out that road.He also did
not tell you that the White IRA government that he put onto this land, was not
to serve you Indians, but to serve the White institutions and the White corporations.Take a good look around you, and see that
the forests have been clearcut, you can’t drink the water, and everything is
going into extinction.The Indian
Reorganization Act was encroachment legislation which concentrated political
power into the hands of a few White Indians, and that 1934 IRA is a human
rights violation.

Dear Shaman,
What is the meaning of “Indian and Free”?signed, Indian and
Proud

Dear Mr. Crow,
The Red Lake Schools have been trying to teach you English, and you haven’t
been listening.You’ll have to go to
the back of the segregated bus, Jim.The meaning of “Indian and Free” is a con job, and whoever started it is
ripping you off.If you’re “free,” why
are you living on the reservation under the U.S. Government’s White IRA Tribal
Government, without any civil or human rights?Why is the white man paying you to be Indian, when he could get all
those New Agers to be his Indians for free?The hypothetical $27 million is just anotherthe devoting so much attention to the Landless Indian Treaties
and to the IRA White Government Tribal Councils.
The immigrants’ Godly thieving strategies depend on crooked hierarchical
languages, like Crooked English.They
called some of their earliest settlers, “Pilgrims,” but pilgrims are supposed

Dear Shaman,
I’ve heard that the Red Lake Schools are going to institute a tax on the Red
Lake people to encourage reading the English language.signed, Concerned
Future TaxpayerDear Bearer of Bad News,
Well, you already live on the reservation, which is segregated and at the
bottom of the White man’s social class hierarchy.Why should anybody teach you the White man’s tricks, like the
English language, when you might rise up and do the same thing to the White man
as he has done to you: put him on a reservation and mis-educate him so that he
doesn’t know who he is or where he came from.
If Superintendent Schmidt is really going to teach your kids to read and
write—do you think that five hours a year is too much to give your kids?

Dear Shaman,
Maybe you could clarify the statistics about the millions of Indians who live
in the United States.Do people who are
15/16 White, count as one “Indian” in these statistics?signed, Full Blood
Quantum IndianDear Apple Indian,
According to the White man’s way of thinking, one drop of “tainted” blood makes
a person not-White.A lot of people
remain “Indians” because they don’t want to be discriminated against as low
class almost-White people.Years ago, I
used to hear the tired old worn-out broken slogan, “Assimilate.”Now, the White and Indian leaders are using
a divide-and-conquer strategy of splitting their subjected people into little
ethnic groups with artificial wanna-be identities.The educated ones who are related to the leaders, get
better-paying bureaucratic token jobs than they could get in the White
corporate world, and the dregs get commodities, rations, and free rides in the
trunk of a police car.
In answer to your question, the White man created Indians, so he can do
anything he wants with his Indian statistics.His blame-the-victim White culture needs somebody like Indians to be his
political hockey-pucks and scapegoats.

Abstract: A Philadelphia Daily News editorial reprinted in the Bemidji Pioneer
reported that “Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman somehow managed to get into the United
States a step ahead of Egyptian police who wanted to discuss various
murders.Within moments, he had a green
card, which allows non-citizens to live, work, and flourish here.Remarkable!But our cops think the sheik had a lot to do with plots to blow up major
American real estate, along with its inhabitants.So the sheik was clapped in irons, where ‘insensitive’ guards
treat him like a ‘common criminal.’Hey, it’s a start.”MORE ALIEN CRIMINALS: The people who made the decision to arrest the
Sheik had ancestors who were also transported across the Atlantic as criminals,
and settled here without any “green card” issued by the Aboriginal Indigenous
Nations.Their descendants continue to
act like this is “their” land.The
virtuous law enforcement agents who arrested the Sheik are illegal aliens living
on stolen land.This Crusade-mentality
Sheik-bashing is like the kettle calling the pot black.
When the European refugees and profiteers thought they could become
“legitimate” they drafted up a Constitution, which made generous provision for
the W.A.S.P.s, and provided very little for anybody else.The Constitution mentions “Indians not
taxed”—the alleged “Indians” were European subject people because of their
French and Spanish patrilines.The U.S.
Constitution makes no mention of the Aboriginal Indigenous Nations which still
own this land.The illegal immigrants
who formed the United States call themselves a “Judeo-Christian Nation,” as we
are frequently reminded by the news media.Before the Constitution was drafted, the Church leaders also held a
meeting to discuss the vast amount of wealth and resources belonging to the
Aboriginal Indigenous People of this Continent.They decided to amend the Ten Commandments.They put a rider on an obscure tithing bill,
and deleted the word “not” from the Commandments.The Commandment which Moses brought down from the Mountain as
“Thou Shalt Not Steal” was amended to “Thou Shalt Steal.”This is where the Divine Mandate of Manifest
Destiny was born, and how the wealth of Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ land and
resources was stolen to fund the Capitalist Industrial Revolution and
underwrite the U.S. dollar.This is why
the imported European cultural baggage of violence and crime continue on this
Continent to this day, because of Amended Judeo-Christian ethics.MYTHOLOGICAL INDIANS:“Indians”
have always been subject people of the Euro-American Governments, so the U.S.
Government had no problem creating the Bureau of Indian Affairs.The Europeans do not have, and have never
had, jurisdiction over the Aboriginal Indigenous People.They could not legitimately create an
apartheid “Bureau of Aboriginal Indigenous Affairs”—that’s why all of the
hocus-pocus promoting their “Indians.”
On Friday, I got a telephone call from Indian Activist Clyde Bellecourt, who
tried to tell me that I was descended from the Blakeley’s.I told him that I am not related to them,
that I have no connection with the Blakeley’s—and that I am only the second
generation with the European name of Blake, which was given to my father’s
half-sister in the Mission School, and then to my father and myself, to try to
make us into “assimilated [European] Indians.”He asked my why I was “joining the Whites in Indian-bashing.”I told him that I am not a White man, and
that I am not an “Indian” man—that “Indian” is a mythology of the Europeans and
has absolutely nothing to do with the Anishinabe Ojibway nor any other
Aboriginal Indigenous People.How can
“bashing” a non-existent mythology hurt anybody but liars?
Clyde said that he was Anishinabe of the Crane Clan.I told him, “according to your genealogy, you are a French man,
and you do not have a Dodem, which means that you are a Wanna-Be.”He had no answer for this.There is nothing wrong with being an honest
Frenchman, but what about assuming a false identity for purposes of
exploitation?The people who promote
“Indians” as the Aboriginal Indigenous People of this Continent, both in A.I.M.
and in the B.I.A., become parasites trying to steal the Anishinabe Ojibway and
other Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples’ identity, our land, and our
resources.Clyde complained about my
writing that A.I.M. got funding from the Bureau of Indian Affairs.I said, “I can retract it, and re-write
it”—that Clyde Bellecourt has no connection to the Heart of the Earth Survival
School (which does receive Federal money).Clyde said that he was “not involved” with the school, however he is
involved with the O.I.C., which he told me he had used to “help a lot of people
get jobs.”O.I.C. is Federally
funded.However, I was not attacking
either Heart of the Earth Survival School or O.I.C.I was writing about some of the sell-out institutions which have
been in Minneapolis for twenty to thirty years, and which have not accomplished
anything in dealing with the fundamental problems in the Cities, although some
of the “Indian leaders” have fatter wallets.The problems are still there, and demonstrating against the “Redskins”
may promote the mythology of “Indians,” but it neither solves community
problems nor helps the Aboriginal Indigenous People.Clyde did not call me to seriously discuss solving community
problems; when I raised these issues, he reverted to Anglo-Saxon street
language and hung up on me.“INDIAN LEADERSHIP”: In the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, grassroots
organizations were springing up around the Cities—alcohol programs, health
programs, education programs—which were attempting to address the problems in
the communities, with the support of Johnson’s War on Poverty [that War was
lost with heavy casualties—there needs to be a Monument in Washington, D.C.
commemorating those lost and missing in action in the War on Poverty].One organization asked me to address the
Lutheran Synod, of which Paul Boe was Executive Director at that time, and
present a proposal.A meeting was
arranged, and when we presented the proposal, Dr. Paul Boe flatly refused to
even look at the proposal.He said,
“Clyde Bellecourt is the leader in the Indian Community, and you have to get
his approval.”We asked him, how did
Clyde Bellecourt become the leader in the community?The Lutherans had unilaterally appointed him, “democratically”
voted on him in their Executive sessions, and paid him to become the “Indian
Leader” for the whole community.This
colonial strategy of choosing the “leaders” of redefined “subject people” has
been going on since the Europeans got here.It’s the same way with the White man’s “Tribal Governments”—and with the
White man’s Duly Recognized Indian Chiefs.Zebulon Pike was the first official United States emissary to this
area.On February 16, 1806, he spoke to
the people assembled at Leech Lake (who did not understand English at the
time).He said, “Your father [meaning
‘The Great White Father’] is going to appoint [White ‘Indian’] Chiefs of his
own to reside amongst you ...”That’s
why the “Indian” was created by various United States statutes, and why the
U.S. decides, however ambiguously, who is “Indian” and who is not.The “Chiefs” who signed the “Indian
Treaties” had absolutely nothing to do with Traditional Anishinabe Ojibway
leadership, and as a matter of fact these “Treaty Chiefs” were White European
“Indians.”
The “leaders” appointed by the European invaders in all of the communities they
try to subjugate are not people who will make positive changes in the
communities—and they are not Aboriginal Indigenous people, either.European institutions use their appointed
leaders to maintain apartheid conditions that benefit the élite.That’s why the problems which were
documented thirty years ago are still here, even though the opportunity to
improve conditions existed.The values
of these “Indian leaders” are the same as those of their White employers.For example, encouraging the abuse of drugs
and alcohol to disenfranchise “subject” people is an old Indo-European
hierarchial strategy.
I could tell you that I’m a “Chippewa Indian,” but I’d be lying to myself, and
I’d be lying to you.There is no such
thing as a “Chippewa Indian” or a “Sioux Indian.”We have documentation to prove that the “Indians” were, and still
are, being used by the W.A.S.P.s to commit, and hide, genocide against the
Aboriginal Indigenous People.What
about complicity in hiding genocide, Clyde?The same question applies to the White man’s “Indian Tribal Councils,”
who are also guilty under the United Nations Convention for the Prevention and
Punishment of Genocide.Anybody who
runs around with an “Indian” identity is helping the immigrant Europeans commit
genocide against the Aboriginal Indigenous People, and helping hide this evil
from the rest of the world.“Indian” is
an European apartheid mythology—there have never been any “Indians” here.We, the Anishinabe Ojibway have a right to
exist in our own land, without the U.S. Government’s fake “Indians” parading
around in the media, trying to steal our identity.
In this column, I try to address issues and institutions, rather than
personalities—but if some individual bears responsibility for creating or
maintaining problems, I may mention their name.I didn’t want to do any rabble-rousing, and I’ll let certain
other writers do the P.R. work drawing public attention to racist institutions
like A.I.M., the B.I.A. and their I.R.A. “Indian Tribal Councils,” and their
White-anointed “leadership.”My telephone number is (218) 679-2382 and

A travelling “American History” exhibit, the Seeds of Change, opens at the
Minneapolis Public Library in June ...Ojibwe
News.
Abstract: A travelling “American History” exhibit, the Seeds of Change, opens
at the Minneapolis Public Library in June, according to the Minneapolis Star
Tribune.The exhibit should more
accurately be entitled “Self-Justified European Colonialism.”The very word “American” is an European word—and
so is “Indian.”It is probably
unrealistic to expect the immigrant Colonial Europeans (who call themselves
“Americans”) to understand this history of this Continent from an Aboriginal
Indigenous perspective.They have
transplanted themselves, their language and culture, and social problems
virtually intact from Europe.They are
still Europeans, no matter what they call themselves, and have almost as little
understanding of the reality of this Continent as they did five hundred years
ago.Their language and their values
are still Colonial European.The
Aboriginal Indigenous people here have a different point of view—that’s why the
ecosystem was kept intact.Everybody is
part of the ecosystem, and you cannot “conquer” it without destroying
yourself.(The immigrant Europeans and
their Indians seem to be suicidal, or they are caught in the momentum of blind
greed.)
Revisionist History, under the guise of “ethnic sensitivity” (after ethnic
cleansing), is alive and well.Last
year in South Dakota, the sloganeers and propagandists were promoting the “Year
of Reconciliation.”There can’t be a
“Reconciliation” without first having “conciliation,” and the reality of 1993
A.D. is business as usual: destroying the ecosystem, polluting the waters, and
having the Europeans’ pet Indians—who have European values, and not Aboriginal
Indigenous values—tell their blood brother European invaders soothing lies to
ease their guilt (pretending they are speaking for the Aboriginal Indigenous
People).“Reconciliation” and the
“Seeds of Change” are nothing more than covering up the theft of the land and
the genocide of the Aboriginal Indigenous People.For “reconciliation,” do I have to apologize to the Europeans for
having been born a Sovereign Aboriginal Indigenous Person, for owning this land
and for my relatives being killed in the genocide—and for the “Indians” that
you invented as brokers to steal Aboriginal Indigenous Peoples resources.After five hundred years of genocide, do we
have to say, “I’m sorry?”I am sorry
that the invading Europeans have destroyed the ecosystem, contaminated the water,
killed the wildlife, clearcut the forests, wiped out countless languages and
killed more than a billion of my Aboriginal Indigenous relatives.The problems which the Europeans have
created on this Continent are not “ancient history,” they are ongoing
today.Your White “Indians,” who embody
Europeans’ own racist stereotypes, are still, under European direction,
actively destroying the Anishinabe Ojibway permaculture, alienating our land
and resources, and still contributing genocide.The European U.S. Government is presently working on legislating
racist “Indian religion” for their smokescreen of frauds and fakes.For these, I am sorry.I’m sorry.I’m sorry.
According to Randy Furst, staff writer of the Star Tribune, the exhibit “Seeds
of Change” emphasizes the material “exchanges,” corn, horses, sugar, and
syphilis.(Apparently, the Aboriginal
Indigenous Peoples’ land and resources are not addressed—the brutal theft and
plunder of this Continent is buried so deeply in their abstract thinking that they
don’t even see it.)The Europeans have
tried to claim that corn was theirs—a few months ago, the Star Tribune ran an
article promoting their alleged ancient Greek “Goddess of Corn.”Appaloosa horses are a pure breed indigenous
to this Continent.According to an
anthropologist we talked to, the evidence for the “absence of horses” is that
there weren’t any dead horses in the archeological remains of ancient villages
here.Maybe the “Indians” and the
Europeans left dead horses laying around town, but we didn’t.Syphilis is an European disease discussed in
the Bible under several euphemisms (for example, I Kings, Chapter 5, Verse 6-9,
where it is called “emerods”).A leading
epidemiologist we talked to admitted to us that the Europeans brought over more
than 90 diseases, including syphilis.But, how many categories of mental illness have the Europeans created,
through their language, and their abstract and linear thinking?When you don’t know what reality is, when
you don’t know what the truth is, the consequences are a pathological society
like the Europeans have here.All you
have to do is look at their prisons, mental institutions, and all of the pain
and misery that they have created.The
Europeans had better have a “year of reconciliation” (or better yet, a Century
Of Reconciliation) with their own people, first.
I spent nine years a political prisoner in a Catholic Boarding School.The reason that I, and the other Aboriginal
Indigenous children of my generation, were forced into this school, was to
brainwash us.But, they took away my
Anishinabe Ojibway language by beating it out of us, and they gave me a “basic
English” of about three or four hundred words.They got too greedy.They
couldn’t brainwash us, because they neglected to give us enough language to
brainwash us in.I studied the
language, war culture and violent history of the European oppressors for
years.There are an increasing number
of Aboriginal Indigenous people who read and speak English fluently.You cannot use forked-tongue language on us
any more and get away with it.DESTINATION—MISSING:If any of
you see the “Little Green Bus,” and if by any chance you do find it and it is
stuck, and the wheels are spinning, be sure and look and see who’s in the
driver’s seat.If Wellstone is there,
don’t worry, because everything is “under control,” but call the publisher of
this newspaper and let him know the latitude and longitude, because he’s
worried and concerned.If the wheels
are spinning, tell those white “Indian Medicine Men” to get out of the bus and
push, and please tell them that what they call “The Red Road” is a blind-alley
detour invented by the illegal alien Europeans.FOUND IN THE MAILBOX—someone asked me to put this in the column:“Now for a word in defense of Clyde
Bellecourt.Now a lot of bad things
have been said about my brother Clyde Bellecourt.It has been said that he was a drug pusher.A seller of illicit drugs.Now I know that he sold bags of Marijuana
and hits of LSD.But let me tell you
something about that.He did in fact
sell drugs.But when he sold bags of
weed those bags weren’t skimpy bags nor was that weed he sold bunk weed,
nosiree it was the good stuff.And that
acid was good too none of that crappy blotter, nope, not brother Clyde.So the next time some one says something bad
about that incident remember these words.”
Drugs and alcohol are a vicious old European tactic of colonization and
genocide.As an Anishinabe Ojibway
elder, I’m giving you advice because I’ve been down that dead-end road—drugs
and alcohol are bad medicine of the immigrant European.I’ve never been old before, and it feels
good.I just wish I knew what I know
now, when I was young.I’m doing my
best to pass on what I’ve learned to the next generations, so they don’t have
to go through the hurting that I did.
